Mean differences of oxidative stress biomarkers in the mother/offspring groups and in mothers vs. neonates, according to BMI, diabetes status, and the use of multivitamins and anti-inflammatory drugs. (n = 34 mother/offspring pairs). SOD = Superoxide dismutase (U/mL), CP = Carbonylated proteins (nmol DNPH/mg of protein), Nitrites (nmol/mg protein/min), Arg = Arginase activity (nmol/mg proteins/min), MDA = Malondialdehyde (nmol of carbocyanine/mg of dry weight), NDPH = dinitrophenylhydrazine. a Pre-pregnancy BMI. b BMI at the end of pregnancy. c Multi-vitamin consumption during pregnancy. d Use of anti-inflammatories during pregnancy. e Diabetes during pregnancy. f Hyperglycaemia during pregnancy
