Objective: We aimed to investigate the relationship between uric acid, bilirubin, and albumin levels -all of which are natural antioxidants- and Gamma Glutamyl transferase (GGT) -one of the components that contribute to maternal oxidative stress- and birth weight of newborns.
Materials and Methods: One hundred twenty-six pregnant women aged between 18-40 years and their babies were included in this retrospective cohort study. Uric acid, GGT, bilirubin levels, age, body mass index (BMI), gravida, parity, number of living children, gestational week and fetal birth weight were reviewed.
Results: The mean age of women was 30.62±5.62. There was a positive correlation between birth weight and albumin (r:0.222, p
