TLDR
There was a significant progressive rise of two groups of free-radical oxidation products throughout pregnancy and a significantly greater rise in PET and in women whose diastolic blood pressure rose to above 70 mmHg.Abstract:
Using recently developed methods for measuring free-radical oxidation products in biological material, plasma extracts were studied in 24 women in the first two trimesters of pregnancy, in 124 women in the third trimester of pregnancy, in 20 women with pre-eclamptic toxaemia (PET), and in a control group. There was a significant progressive rise of two groups of free-radical oxidation products throughout pregnancy and a significantly greater rise in PET. In women whose diastolic blood pressure rose to above 70 mmHg there was a highly significant relation between two groups of free-radical reaction products and blood pressure.read more

Overview of methods used for detecting lipid peroxidation.
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the methods used for studying lipid peroxidation and concentrates on such aspects of lipidperoxidation in relation to biomembrane disturbance.

Vitamins C and E and the risks of preeclampsia and perinatal complications
TL;DR: There were no significant differences between the vitamin and placebo groups in the risk of preeclampsia, death or serious outcomes in the infants, and delivering an infant whose birth weight was below the 10th percentile for gestational age.

TL;DR: Current information regarding the occurrence of lipid peroxidation in normal and preeclamptic pregnancy is summarized and potential mechanisms by which lipidperoxidation might contribute to the pathogenesis of preeclampsia are discussed.

TL;DR: Evidence continues to accumulate that oxidative stress is a mediator of endothelial dysfunction and thus contributes to the cardiovascular complications of preeclampsia and may play a role in the pathogenesis of a number of diseases in the newborn.

Nutrition in pregnancy : mineral and vitamin supplements
TL;DR: There is an urgent need for this discussion to discuss the underlying basis and rationale for changing from supplementation with iron and folate to supplementation with multiple micronutrients, so that both program effectiveness and program efficacy can be improved.

Tissue sulfhydryl groups
TL;DR: A water-soluble (at pH 8) aromatic disulfide [5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid] has been synthesized and shown to be useful for determination of sulfhydryl groups.

Free radical mechanisms in tissue injury
TL;DR: This short review of free radicals discusses certain types of free radical, such as nitroxyl-radicals and free radicals stabilized by steric or derealization features, which are stable enough to be crystallised and stored at temperatures above 0°.

The thiobarbituric acid reaction and the autoxidations of polyunsaturated fatty acid methyl esters.
TL;DR: The mechanism of oxidation of methylene-interrupted trienes, tetraenes, pentaenes, and hexaenes postulates an additional step in chain propagation involving intramolecular rearrangement of the hydroperoxy free radical to a free radical bearing a closed five-membered ring peroxide.

Mechanism for irreversible self-deactivation of prostaglandin synthetase.
TL;DR: A mechanism has been devised which accounts for the self-deactivation phenomenon, the effect of phenol and methional, the disulfide at the active site, and the pathway of substrate oxygenation.
