Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the serum levels of albumin, malonaialdehyde (MDA) as an end product of lipid peroxidation and superoxide dismutase (SOD) as an antioxidant enzyme, in pregnancy and postpartum women. The study included (120) pregnancies during months of pregnancy conducted in Al-jmhwry and Al-salam helth center /Kirkuk with (20) non-pregnants women whom served control and (20) as postpartum in the age (18-40) years. The study was carried out from 3/2016 to 3/2017. The results indicated for a signifcant increase. In albumin serum levels during the months of pregnancy and decreas in activity of superoxid dismutase enzyme in the last three months of pregnancy, while there was a significant increas in serum levels of (MDA) in contrast with control).
