Levels of oxidative stress markers maternal serum from women ≥ 40 years of age with normal and adverse pregnancy outcome; n = 43/group. Maternal serum at 28 weeks (A, C, E, G) and 36 weeks (B, D, F, H) gestation against pregnancy outcome. A, B Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC), C, D DNA/RNA damage, E, F 8-Isoprostane and G, H Protein Carbonyl. Data are (A, B) median, IQR and range, Mann Whitney test or (C-H) unpaired t-test for transformed data. TAC was correlated with 8-isoprostane at (G) 28 weeks and (H) 36 weeks gestation using Spearman rank test (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01)
