Association between maternal micronutrient status, oxidative stress and common genetic variants in antioxidant enzymes at 15 weeks’ gestation in nulliparous women who subsequently develop pre-eclampsia [PDF]
Aims: Pre-eclampsia is a pregnancy-specific condition affecting 2-7% of women and a leading cause of perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. Deficiencies of specific micronutrient antioxidant activities associated with copper, selenium, zinc and ...
