Abstract
Level of non-enzymatic antioxidant like serum uric acid and enzymatic antioxidant like superoxide dismutase is found to be deranged in patients of gestational diabetes mellitus. Serum uric acid and superoxide dismutase levels were estimated in sixty patients of gestational diabetes mellitus admitted in obstetrics and gynecology department of G.M.C., Nagpur and sixty normal healthy pregnant controls. The result of the study showed that serum uric acid levels were increased significantly in the gestational diabetes mellitus group compared to the normal pregnant group and serum superoxide dismutase levels were decreased significantly in the gestational diabetes mellitus group compared to the normal pregnant group. Furthermore when levels of serum uric acid and superoxide dismutase were correlated with the fasting and post meal blood glucose in gestational diabetes mellitus patients, significant positive and negative correlation was observed respectively.
