Abstract

Vitamin A has many physiological functions including the participation of growth, cell prolipheration and acts as an antioxidant. Since vitamin A deficiency affects the mother and fetus health, we investigated the levels of vitamin A and ß-earotcn in pregnant women living in Gaziantep. Plasma vitamin A and ß-carolen levels of 355 pregnant women between the ages of 14-44 were determined spectrophotornetrically by Neelcl Pearson method.Mean plasma vitamin A and ß-caroten levels were 32.80+12.80 pg/dl, and 96.52±35.64 pg/dl, respectively. Vitamin A level was decreased in third trimester. However, we could not find any difference in ß-caroten level. There was a negative correlation between duration of pregnancy and vitamin A level (r=-0.11, p<0.05). Although ß-caroten level was witn normal limits, consumption of vitamin A in pregnants living in Gaziantep was not adequate. This difference may be because of the different sources of vitamin A and ß-caroten.

Özet

A vitamini birçok fonksiyonu yanında antioksidan, büyüme ve hücre proliferasyomında etkisi olan bir vitamindir. Gebelerde A vitamini eksikliğinin hem anne hem de (Ötüşün sağlığını tehdit etmesi nedeniyle Gaziantep merkezinde yaşayan bir grup gebe karlında A vitamini ve ß-karoten düzeyini ölçmek amaçlanmıştır. Gaziantep il merkezindeki 13 sağlık ocağına gelen 14-44 yaşlan arasındaki gebeler çalışmaya alınmıştır. Sistemik hastalığı olanlar ile ilaç ve sigara kullananlar çalışma dışı bırakılmıştır. Toplam 355 gebe kadının plazma A vitamini ve ß-karoten düzeyi Neeld-Pearson metodu kullanılarak fotometrik olarak ölçülmüştür. Gebelerin ortalama plazma A vitamini konsantrasyonu 32.80±12.80 ug/dl, ß-karoten konsantrasyonu ise 96.52±35.64 pg/dl olarak bulunmuştur. Gebelik süresi ile A vitamini konsantrasyonu arasında negatif korelasyon saptanmış (p 0.05). Çalışmamızda gebelik döneminde annenin beslenmesi fötüsün büyüme ve gelişmesi üzerine etkili olduğu bilinen A vitaminini, Gaziantep il merkezinde yaşayan gebelerin yeterli miktarda alamadığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
