Oxidative Stress Increased in Pregnant Women with Iodine Deficiency

Abstract: Iodine is an essential element trace for the synthesis of maternal thyroid hormones needed to support normal fetal development; it also acts as an antioxidant directly or induce antioxidant enzymes indirectly. Iodine deficiency and oxidative stress are associated with pregnancy complications. This study aimed to assess the urinary iodine concentration and its relationship with the antioxidant and oxidative stress status during gestation. Pregnant women were consecutively recruited from an obstetric clinic duri… Show more

“…This increase has been associated with various diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis and preeclampsia (PE), among others (33)(34)(35). Imbalance between antioxidant defenses and lipid peroxidation leads to endothelial dysfunction and cell damage mediated by free radicals, altering trophoblast differentiation processes and migration to the uterine spiral arteries, and causing poor placentation and, consequently, pregnancy hypertensive disease (5,36,37). In pregnant women with preeclampsia, high levels of oxidative stress and low antioxidant status were found (38).…”

“…Five milliliters of fasting venous blood were collected in BD Vacutainer ® and preserved using packs of ice blocks; later, they were transported to the laboratory for the assessment of TBARS level, an indicator of oxidative stress. SOD, catalase, and total antioxidant status (TAS) were measured as indicators of antioxidant status as previously reported (5). The blood samples were centrifuged at 5,000 rpm for five minutes to separate plasma.…”
