Abstract :

Background

Zn, and Mg display antioxidant activity and act as peroxynitrite scavengers. The disturbance in the metabolism of these elements may be a contributing factor in the development of certain diseases such as preeclampsia. The aim of the present study was to identify the level of zinc ,magnesium in normal non–pregnant, Group 1 (control), normal pregnant Group II and women with preeclampsia Group III to evaluate the changes in oxidative stress by measuring serum malondiadehyde.
