A comparative study of oxidative stress markers (ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) and the blood serum antioxidant capacity) in normal pregnancy and preeclampsia was carried out. The IMA level and blood serum antioxidant capacity increased in the following order: healthy non-pregnant women→healthy pregnant women→patients with moderate preeclampsia→patients with severe preeclampsia (p<0.001).

Antihypertensive drugs acting not through the NO-mediated mechanisms normalized BP in some women with preeclampsia, but did not significantly reduce the levels of NO donors in the plasma. It appears that preeclampsia is associated with insufficient NO availability for the targets, rather than low intensity of NO synthesis.

We revealed a relationship between water balance and LPO in the myocardium, liver, and blood plasma during massive blood loss and irradiation with He-Ne laser. Low-intensity laser irradiation of the plasma inhibits LPO and normalizes water balance in rat tissues during massive blood loss.
