Oxidative stress is a critical factor in the onset of gestational diabetes and its associated complication, pre-eclampsia. This study aimed to evaluate (1) reactive oxygen species, nitrogen superoxide radical levels as indicators oxidative stress, (2) lipid protein oxidation, (3) antioxidant enzyme activity, (4) cytokine production pregnant women with diabetes, well those both pre-eclampsia, comparing these biomarkers mellitus. The categorized patients mellitus into two groups based on presence new-onset hypertension, measured twice every four hours, 24 h urine test showing 300 mg/day or ≥1+ proteinuria detected via visual dipstick at ≥20 weeks gestation. These were compared normotensive patients. findings revealed that pre-eclampsia exhibited significantly elevated production, oxidation end products women. Additionally, showed reduced nitric oxide (•NO) levels, impaired NO synthase systems (eNOS iNOS), decreased activities (p < 0.05). results indicate are unable counteract effectively. underscores compromised status contributing complications. provide insights pathogenesis subsequent role resulting Measuring inflammatory could help early detection prediction gestational-diabetes-related complications
