Unraveling the Role of Oxidative Stress and Lipid Status Parameters in the Onset of Preeclampsia

: The aim of the study was to assess the potential role of oxidative stress and lipid status in the onset of preeclampsia.: 138 high-risk pregnant women were prospectively followed. Assessment of oxidative stress (TAS, TOS, AOPP and SH groups) and lipid status (t-C, LDL-C, HDL-C, TGC, APO-A1, APO-B) was carried out during the pregnancy.: 30 women developed preeclampsia. TGC, atherogenic index of plasma, TAS and SH levels were higher in women who subsequently developed preeclampsia (p<0.05).: Oxidative stress and lipid status disturbance have a potential role in the onset of preeclampsia in high risk pregnancies.
