ABSTRACT
To evaluate the role of paraoxonase and arylesterase activities in etiopathogenesis of intrauterine growth restriction
Prospective study
Gaziantep Üniversity, Medical School, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology
Pregnant patient with intrauterine growth restriction.
Serum analysis and rutin pregnancy interventions.
Serum paraoxonase and arylesterase activities.
We have demonstrated higher paraoxonase and arylesterase activities in patient group.
This is the first report about the role of paraoxonase 1, which is a HDL-associated antioxidant enzyme, in etiopathogenesis of intrauterine growth restriction in English literature. Further studies to evaluate the importance of serum paraoxonase and arylesterase activities for prediction of intrauterine growth restriction are needed.
