Abstract
Objective: We aimed to investigate the relationship between umblical coiling index and thiol/disulfide balance in SGA newborns to compare with AGA newborns.
Material and Methods: Fetal umbilical cord serum samples were collected during labour and the thiol/disulfide homeostasis was measured. After birth, umbilical cords were collected and cord parameters were examined including, length, number of coils, umbilical cord index.
Results: Significant decrease in native thiol, total thiol, and a significant increase in disulfide, disulfide/native thiol ratio and disulfide/total thiol ratios were observed in the study group while native thiol/total thiol ratio levels of the two groups did not reach to a statistical significance.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that SGA babies had altered thiol homeostasis in favor of oxidative stress.
