Overview

Randomized trial assesses heavy metals' effects on antioxidant markers in pregnant women with anemia, indicating health risks.

Key Points

  • Assess the effect of heavy metals on pregnant women with anemia compared to healthy pregnant women.
  • 195 blood samples collected from 105 pregnant women with anemia and 90 healthy controls
  • Analysis included levels of arsenic, lead, cadmium, copper, and mercury and various biochemical parameters
  • Study conducted in Kirkuk Governorate, Iraq across all trimesters
  • Significant increases in Cu and As levels across all trimesters; Cd and Pb elevated in 1st and 3rd trimesters
  • Notable biochemical changes included total thiol and ischemia-modified albumin increases in all trimesters
  • Disulfide bond and albumin/globulin ratio significant in earlier trimesters.
