Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate influence of oxidative stress on newborn organism, in terms of the dynamics of malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration changes and of the activities of selected antioxidants in asphyxial newborns on the 1st and 5th day of life.
Method: In the group of 62 preterm and term asphyxial newborns, characterized by the presence of asphyxial criteria and admitted within 24 hours of life, the plasma concentration of MDA and level of total antioxidant status (TAS) were followed.
Results: Dynamic changes of MDA signalized active process of lipoperoxidation (LP) and values of TAS were decreased in comparison with the capacity of adult patients.
