Estimation of Ascorbic Acid Status in Normal Pregnancy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The study is to measure the serum concentration of ascorbic acid in pregnant women during all the trimesters. Methods: Total serum concentration was measured using the 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine method, which involves the conversion of vitamin C to dehydroascorbic acid in the presence of copper ions and subsequent measurement of the resulting bishydrazone at 540nm. Results revealed that total vitamin C concentration in all three trimesters values are significantly lower. In Conclusion: Serum vitamin C concentration were observed to be low in pregnant women in all the three trimesters when compared with nonpregnant women.
