چکیده

OBJECTIVE We determined the calcium activated adenosine triphosphatase (Ca-ATPase) activity and level of lipid peroxidation thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) of red blood cell ghosts in the antepartum and postpartum of normotensive and preeclamptic pregnant women. METHODS Samples of venous blood were obtained by venipuncture of nulliparous normotensive and preeclamptic pregnant women antepartum and two, four, six, and 20 weeks postpartum. The red blood cell ghosts were prepared and assayed for Ca-ATPase activity and TBARS. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) We expected to find a return to normal values of both Ca-ATPase activity and TBARS level of the red blood cell ghosts, modified in the preeclamptic pregnant women, during their puerperium. RESULTS The Ca-ATPase activity of red cell ghosts from preeclamptic women, antepartum, is lower than that of normotensive pregnant women. The ATPase activity returns to normal values during the first six weeks of postpartum. The level of TBARS of red cell ghosts from preeclamptic women follows a pattern that is inversely proportional to the one of the Ca-ATPase activity. CONCLUSIONS Preeclampsia produces a significant diminution of the Ca-ATPase activity and an increase in the levels of TBARS in the erythrocytes. As soon as all the symptoms of preeclampsia disappear in the postpartum, both Ca-ATPase activity and TBARS return to normal values.

The plasma membrane Ca-ATPase protein from red blood cells is not modified in preeclampsia

Plasma membrane Ca-ATPase activity diminishes by about 50% in red blood cells during preeclampsia. We investigated whether the number of Ca-ATPase molecules is modified in red cell membranes from preeclamptic pregnant women by measuring the specific phosphorylated intermediate of this enzyme. Also, we isolated the Ca-ATPase protein from both normotensive and preeclamptic pregnant women and esti...

P-141: The Comparsion of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Level between Preeclamptic Postpartum Mothers and The Healthy Post-Mothers in Alzahra Hospital in Rasht,2011- 2012

Background: Preeclampsia has high prevalence and important complication. The relationship between Glucose- 6-Phosphate Dehydrogenas (G6PD) and preeclampsia are expressed previously but their relationships are controversial yet. Some studies confirm this possibility and some others dismiss it. So we decided to examine the relationship between G6PD activity and preeclampsia although it is not den...

Comparative study of the calcium adenosine triphosphatase of basal membranes of human placental trophoblasts from normotensive and preeclamptic pregnant women.

The Ca-ATPase activity of plasma membranes from human trophoblast is diminished in about 50% in preeclamptic women, as compared to normotensive pregnant women. This diminution is not due to changes in the behavior of the enzyme towards the free calcium concentration, the pH or the temperature of the incubation medium. Neither does it appear to be due to the presence of some condensing factor in...
