Influence of gestational diabetes on the activity of δ-aminolevulinate dehydratase and oxidative stress biomarkers

The results suggest that the main factor for the increase in oxidative stress and reduced δ-ALA-D activity in diabetic pregnant women is gestational hyperglycemic environment, which changed the redox balance and interfered on mechanism of the δ-ALA-D activity in relation to normoglycemic pregnant women.
