Objective: Pregnancy and mainly its complications are associated with increased oxidative stress.Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) can serve as one of its markers.Setting: First Institute of Medical Chemistry and Biochemistry and Institute for Clinical Biochemistry,First Medical Faculty, Charles University; Institute for Care of Mother and Child, Prague.Methods: Together with parameters of prenatal screening, AOPP were measured in the serum of23 pregnant women in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy. A group of healthy blood donors – womenand men was used for comparison. AOPP were determined spectrophotometrically according toWitko-Sarsat (absorbance at 340 nm) and are expressed in chloramin units (mmol/l).Results: Serum AOPP concentrations in pregnant women are significantly higher in comparisonwith blood donors – women (85.90±18.70 mmol/l vs 57.34±16.31 mmol/l, P
Key words: oxidative stress, pregnancy, advanced oxidation protein products
