Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The present study aims to evaluate a set of oxidative stress biomarkers in the amniotic fluid (AF) of women carrying Down syndrome (DS) fetuses that could prove in vivo the early occurrence of oxidative damage in DS. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: To assess the extent of protein oxidation in DS AF, we measured protein carbonylation and protein-bound HNE by slot-blot analysis, total and oxidized GSH levels by...
