Adduct of Malondialdehyde to Hemoglobin: A New Marker of Oxidative Stress That Is Associated with Significant Morbidity in Preterm Infants

Table 2

Concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA-Hb) and reduced glutathione (GSH) at birth in 83 very preterm infants with (ISM+) or without (ISM−) composite index of severe morbidity (ISM).

	All; 𝑁=83	ISM+; 𝑛=17	ISM−; 𝑛=66	𝑃 value*
MDA-Hb (nanomol/g Hb)	11.3 (2.2–134.3)	19.9 (6.6–117.5)	9.3 (2.2–134.3)	0.03
GSH (μM/L)	1310 (301–2168)	1295 (301–2168)	1324 (989–2042)	0.50
