The fasting hours were about 14 h per day in that season. Pregnant women in the second trimester were enrolled in the study. Total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS) and the oxidative stress index (OSI) were measured from maternal serum samples taken on a fasting day at the end of Ramadan. To evaluate the impact of Ramadan on the foetus, Doppler ultrasonography was performed in the beginning and then at the end of Ramadan in all participants and was used for the following measurements: Increase of biparietal diameter, femur length, estimated foetal body weight, amniotic fluid index and umbilical artery systolic/diastolic ratio. To discern differences between distinct cohorts, independent <i>t</i>-tests and Mann-Whitney's <i>U</i>-tests were employed based on the data distribution. A <i>p</i> value threshold of less than .05 was established to determine statistical significance.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>TAS level was found to be significantly lower in the group that fasted for more than 15 days compared to the non-fasting group that did not fast (<i>p</i> = .003), but no significant differences were found between the groups in terms of TOS and OSI (<i>p</i> < .05). Obstetric ultrasound parameters showed no significant differences between the two groups (<i>p</i> < .05).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The present study suggests that fasting during the second trimester of pregnancy does not substantially impact maternal or foetal health, as indicated by most oxidative stress markers and foetal parameters studied. However, the observed reduction in the TAS levels in the fasting group warrants further investigation.</p>","PeriodicalId":16627,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology","volume":"44 1","pages":"2408690"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142348629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
