Correlations between gestational age and oxidative stress markers.
| Variables | Gestational age (weeks) | |
|---|---|---|
| r-value | p-value | |
| Protein Carbonyls (nmol/l) | -0.421 | 0.009* |
| Superoxide dismutase activity (U/gmHb) | 0.925 | <0.001* |
| Glutathione peroxidase activity (mU/mL) | 0.961 | <0.001* |
| Oxidant/ anti-oxidant ratio | -0.703 | <0.001* |
| Copper (μmol/l) | 0.886 | <0.001* |
| Zinc (μmol/l) | 0.668 | <0.001* |
| Selenium (ng/ml) | 0.806 | <0.001* |
*p-value <0.05 is considered statistically significant.
