ABSTRACT

Objective:

To investigate serum paraoxonase (PON1) activity, serum calcium, and lipid profiles in pre-eclampsia.

Material & Method:

Serum PON1 activity, calcium, and lipid profiles were measured in a cohort of 45 women with normal pregnancies (11 patients) and pre-eclampsia (34 patients).

Results:

Triglyceride, total cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol concentrations were significantly increased in women with pre-eclampsia, compared with women with normal

Pregnancies:

Serum HDL cholesterol, PON1, and calcium levels in pre-eclamptic patients were significantly lower than those in healthy pregnant women.

Conclusion:

The significant decrease of PON1 activity in pre-eclampsia is related to lipid profiles and calcium.

Keywords:
Pre-eclampsia, serum paraoxonase (PON1), lipid profile, calcium
