Determination of the level of homocysteine and antioxidants in the blood serum of women with gestational diabetes

Abstract

Gestational diabetes shows why there are significant biochemical shifts.  This study examines serum biochemistry. These factors are studied in correlation to gestational diabetes. The study samples 100 subjects to be studied,  including, 30 healthy pregnant, 30 non-pregnant and 40 gestational diabetes. In Kirkuk General Hospital and gel tubes, samples of blood were collected. This work reports a high level of homocysteine (HCY )activity (P?0.01) in gestational diabetes. It also measures many biochemical parameters. There was a significant drop of probability(p? 0.01) in Antioxidant Catalase (CAT), Glutathione peroxidase(GPX) and Glutathione (GSH). In contrast, there was a rise in probability (p? 0.01) in Antioxidantand  Uric acid(U.A) for patients with gestational diabetes as compared with the healthy pregnant, and non-pregnant.
