RESUMO
We examined 70 women who were 22-40 weeks pregnant and their newborns. Of these, 15 women with moderate PE made up group 1, 22 women with severe PE-group 2, and 55 women with uncomplicated pregnancy without hypertensive disorders - the control group. Blood was collected from women when they were admitted to the clinic, and blood was taken from newborns for 3-5 days of life. The concentration of hydrogen sulfide was determined by the method of K. Qu et al [17]. There was a decrease in the level of hydrogen sulfide in the blood serum of women whose pregnancy was complicated by severe preeclampsia. In newborns born to mothers with preeclampsia, an increase in the concentration of hydrogen sulfide was detected in the blood, which is probably a compensatory reaction aimed at restoring vascular homeostasis during early postnatal adaptation.

We examined 66 women who were 22-40 weeks pregnant and their newborns. Of these, 15 women with moderate PE were in group 1, 22 women with severe PE were in group 2, and 55 women with uncomplicated pregnancy without hypertensive disorders were in the control group. Blood was taken from women when they were admitted to the clinic, and newborns ' blood was taken for 3-5 days of life. Free radical oxidation and antioxidant activity were evaluated by induced chemiluminescence. It was found that in patients with severe and moderate preeclampsia, the development of oxidative stress is accompanied by a weakening of antioxidant activity. In newborns born to mothers with preeclampsia, oxidative stress is accompanied by a compensatory increase in antioxidant activity.
