Thiol/disulfide homeostasis in pregnant women with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates oxidative stress in pregnant women with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) by comparing markers of ischemia-reperfusion injury to those in women without OSAS and healthy controls.
- The research involved 29 pregnant women with OSAS, 30 pregnant women without OSAS, and 30 healthy non-pregnant women, focusing on serum levels of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and thiol/disulfide homeostasis.
- Results showed that both native and total thiol levels were significantly lower in pregnant women with OSAS compared to those without, indicating oxidative stress; however, these dynamic parameters did not effectively distinguish OSAS in pregnant women.
