This study was planned to investigate possible relationship between free radical scavenging enzyme activities- lipid peoxidations and missed abortion.
Yöntem
Superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and catalase (CAT) enzyme activities and levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), antioxidant potential (AOP) and nonenzymatic superoxide radical scavenger activity (NSSA) were measured in placenta tissues from missed abortion (n=27) and induced abortion (n=17) as a control.
Bulgular
GSH-Px and CAT activities were found to be significantly increased, and SOD activity and levels of NSSA decreased in patients with missed abortion compared to control. However, there were no significant differences in TBARS and AOP levels between the groups.
Sonuç
Our results demonstrate that a compensation mechanism may be developed again.st possible oxidative stress in patients with missed abortion.
