Abstract:
INTRODUCTION:Maternal obesity creates an adverse intrauterine environment, negatively impacts placental respiration, is associated with a higher incidence of pregnancy complications and programs the offspring for disease in adult life in a sexually dimorphic manner. We defined the effect of maternal obesity and fetal sex on pro- and anti-oxidant status in placenta and placental mitochondria. METHODS:Placental villous tissue was collected at term via c-section prior to labor from four groups of patients based on fetal sex and prepregnancy/1st trimester body mass index: lean - BMI 22.1 ± 0.3 (6 male, 6 female) and obese - BMI 36.3 ± 0.4 (6 male, 6 female). Antioxidant enzyme activity, mitochondrial protein carbonyls, nitrotyrosine residues, total and nitrated superoxide dismutase (SOD) and nitric oxide synthesis were measured. RESULTS:Maternal obesity was associated with decreased SOD and catalase activity, and total antioxidant capacity (TAC), but increased oxidative (protein carbonyls) and nitrative (nitrotyrosine) stress in a sexually dimorphic manner. Placentas of lean women with a male fetus had higher SOD activity and TAC (p < 0.05) than other groups whereas obese women with a male fetus had highest carbonyls and nitrotyrosine (p < 0.05). Glutathione peroxidase and thioredoxin reductase activity increased with obesity, significantly with a male fetus, perhaps as a compensatory response. CONCLUSION:Maternal obesity affects oxidative stress and antioxidant activity in the placenta in a sexually dimorphic manner. The male fetus of a lean women has the highest antioxidant activity, a protection which is lost with obesity perhaps contributing to the increased incidence of adverse outcomes with a male fetus.
