Lipids peroxidation system in oral fluid of pregnant women with inflammatory periodontal disease at different gestation stages

Abstract

Oxidative stress was assessed in 30 pregnant women with inflammatory periodontal disease and 20 healthy non-pregnant women. An increase of lipids peroxidation intensity and decrease of antioxidative enzymes was revealed. These changes progressed during the course of gestation reaching its peak in the III trimester and were associated with the clinical signs of periodontal disease.
