Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relation gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and the thiol/disulfide balance, used as a marker of oxidative stress, by measuring that exchange using a novel technique.Material/Methods: Thirty one subjects diagnosed with GDM and 30 healthy pregnant women were included in the study. Thiol/disulfide homeostasis concentrations were measured by a newly developed method in this study. After native thiol, t...
