Maternal serum thiol/disulfide homeostasis in pregnancies complicated by fetal hypoxia.

This study suggests that maternal thiol/disulphide homeostasis is impaired in pregnancies complicated by FD.IMPACT STATEMENTWhat is already known about this subject? Oxidative stress (OS) has previously been investigated in FD. This study reports for the first time a new novel and automatic measurement method.What do the results of this study add? This study shows that the thiol balance shifts in the direction of disulphide in the cases of FD.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and further research? Thiol balance can be used for the timely diagnosis of FD.
