“…The current results indicated that TAC in kids from birth to 4 weeks of age tended to increase, but not significantly ( Figure 1). It is postulated that TAC serum concentration in kids is associated with the maternal health and nutrition [7]. Serum TBARS concentrations increased on the 2 nd week and decreased significantly on the 4 th week of age ( Figure 2).…”

The provision of basic data about oxidative stresses on Aardi goats will be beneficial for understanding the basic physiological indices of a valuable local breed of goats under harsh desert condition. The primary aim of this study is to assess the antioxidant status of newly born Aardi kids. Eighteen newly born Aardi kids were used in this study; sampled weekly as from week 1 to 4 for the assay of the plasma Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC), ThioBarbituric Reactive Substances (TBARS), and Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) activities. For new-born, total blood antioxidants concentrations did not change during the four weeks of life. However, TBARS increased during the 2 nd and 3 rd week of age (p < 0.05). The results indicated that TAC in kids from birth to 4 weeks of age tended to increase, but not significantly. Serum TBARS concentrations increased on the 2 nd week and decreased significantly on the 4 th week of age.Serum SOD levels did not change significantly, even though, the trend showed a decline during 1 st to 3 rd week of age. The small decrease in serum TBARS in the serum of kids can be considered as an indication of decreased oxidants, which in turn, resulted in a reduction in serum SOD concentration. In conclusion, this basic data could help in understanding the adaptational physiology of young local Saudi goats.

“…Countering reactive oxygen species released during pre-eclampsia are solely dependent on total endogenous antioxidants present in the system. Mahdiyeh et al [28] observed that serum TAC is positively associated with the risk of preeclampsia but no association was found between intake of antioxidant indices and pre-eclampsia risk. The TAC of pregnant women is reduced by high lipid peroxidation, abnormal placentation, oxidative stress, alcoholism, smoking and exposure to radiation and toxic elements.…”

Aim:To assess the role of antioxidants and lipid peroxidation in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia. Study Design: This is a case-control study designed to evaluate the levels of malondialdehyde and total antioxidant capacity with glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activities in preeclamptic. One hundred (100) participants were randomly selected to include fifty pre-eclamptic Manafa et al.; JAMPS, 21(4): 1-9, 2019; Article no.JAMPS.50664 2 (test), twenty-five (25) healthy pregnant normotensive women (control A) and twenty-five healthy non-pregnant normotensive women (control B). Original Research Article Place and Duration of Study:This study was carried out at the Holy Rosary Hospital waterside, Onitsha, Anambra state. Nigeria. The study lasted for 13 months. Methodology: One hundred women (50 pre-eclamptic, 25 pregnant normotensives and 25 nonpregnant normotensives) aged 25-40 years were recruited for this study. Blood samples were collected from the participants for the estimation of total antioxidant capacity (TAC), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities using spectrophotometric methods. Blood pressures were measured using accosson sphygmomanometer. Data were analysed using analysis of variance and Pearson's correlation coefficient at p < 0.05. Results: The TAC was significantly higher in the pregnant normotensives (p< 0.05) compared with the pre-eclamptic and non-pregnant normotensives. There was no significant difference in the MDA in pre-eclamptic compared with pregnant normotensives and non-pregnant normotensives (p>0.05). A significant difference was observed in the SOD and GPx activities in the pregnant normotensive and non-pregnant normotensives compared with pre-eclamptic. A positive correlation was observed between the blood pressures (systolic and diastolic) and the activities of TAC, SOD and GPx in preeclamptic. Furthermore, a positive correlation was observed between MDA levels and SBP (r = 0.019) while a negative correlation (r = -0.225) existed between MDA and DBP. Conclusion: Diminished ability of antioxidants to scavenge free radicals may affect the onset of pre-eclampsia and therefore possible prognostic tool in its management.

“…A study (28) showed PE women had significantly lower intakes of milk, meat or beans and higher consumption of grains and fruit, vegetables compared to the recommended minimum number for pregnant women. However, in the case control study in Isfahan, PE women had significantly lower intakes of grains and vegetables compared to the normal pregnancy (29). Another study reported that women who had high intakes of vegetables had lower PE risk (30).…”

Nutritional Status in Preeclamptic Women: a Case-Control Study in South East of Iran

et al. 2018

A B S T R A C T Background and Objectives:Beyond the influence of anthropometric, demographic and race, nutrition is considered as one of the most important risk factors for development of preeclampsia (PE). The issue has grown controversial in light of recent reports. This paper, purposes to compare the nutritional and demographic status between PE women and normal pregnancy in south east of Iran. Materials and Methods:Sixty three normal pregnant and 62 PE women were recruited to be referred to obstetrics and gynecology department of Imam-Ali Hospital, Zahedan, Iran. PE was diagnosed by using international guidelines by the expert gynecologist. Dietary intake, assessed by food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), and anthropometric measurement and medical history were collected by trained gynecologist and dietitians during the second trimester. The logistic regression model was used to assess the correlation between dietary intake and PE risk.Results: Pregnant PE women compared with normal pregnant women had higher pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), cesarean delivery and low birth weight babies. There was an association between grain intake and PE risk (OR= 2.00;. No association was found between other dietary intakes and PE risk. Conclusions:Our findings support the association between grain intake and the risk of PE. Further prospective studies are needed to illustrate the link between dietary intake and PE status.
