| Abstract: | Objective: To investigate cytoglobin levels in women with preeclampsia and women with uncomplicated pregnancies.Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study including 26 pregnant women complicated with early-onset preeclampsia (EO-PE) and 26 pregnant women complicated with late-onset preeclampsia (LO-PE) were recruited for the study group. Twenty-seven healthy pregnant women selected randomly were included in the control group. The serum CYGB concentrations were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results: Gestational age at delivery and mean birth weight were significantly lower in the preeclampsia groups than in the control group and were found to be the lowest in the EO-PE group (p?p?p?=?1.000).Conclusions: Serum CYGB levels were significantly higher in patients with EO-PE and LO-PE as compared to healthy pregnant women. |
