[Lipid peroxides concentration in women with intrauterine growth restriction].
OBJECTIVE
Intrauterine growth restriction is connected to high free radicals activity. One of the indices of lipid cell membrane destruction in free radical processes are lipid peroxides.


METHODS
The aim of the study was to find correlation between lipid peroxides products concentration in healthy women and intrauterine growth restriction.


METHODS
The study was done in Medical University in Lodz in 1999-2002. The study group consist of women with IUGR, the controls of healthy pregnant women. The lipid peroxides were measured by colometric method, using Bioxytech kit for lipid peroxides.


RESULTS
In IUGR group concentration of lipid peroxides was 42.17 +/- 11.77 mumol/l. In controls 53.754 +/- 14.07 mumol/l. We found significant difference between two groups and the increase of lipid peroxides in IUGR group.


CONCLUSIONS
In women with IUGR the processes of lipid peroxidation increased.
