ABSTRACT

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of purple grape juice consumption in pregnancy on oxidative stress parameters in Wistar rat fetuses. Twenty-four pregnant rats were divided into five groups: control group, indomethacin group (received a single dose of indomethacin in DG20), group grape juice DG14 (received an amount for 14 days/first and second gestational trim), group grape juice DG20 (received a dose throughout the gestational period), group grape juice two doses (received two doses, at morning and afternoon). On the 20th day of pregnancy (DG20), rats were anesthetized, and a cesarean section was performed to obtain the fetuses. A sample of liver, heart, and total brain of fetuses was collected for oxidative stress analyses. Values P<0.05 were considered significant. In fetuses' heart, we observed that the grape juice two dose group decreased sulfhydryl and increased SOD. In the liver, the grape juice decreased TBARS and SOD. There was a decrease in carbonyl and sulfhydryl in the indomethacin and grape juice one dose groups in the brain. We conclude that indomethacin altered oxidative stress parameters only in the fetal brain, and grape juice was presented as an important modulator of antioxidant capacity when consumed in a dose.
