Abstract:
Zinc, copper, manganese, cadmium, vitamin A, E and folic acid status of 36 pregnant and 40 nonpregnant women was studied. The results showed that dietary nutrient intakes of the pregnant women were more than that of the nonpregnant controls, but both of which were less than the corresponding values of the RDA. Serum zinc, folic acid and hair manganese concentrations were lower, while serum copper, cadmium, vitamin A and E were higher in pregnant women than that in nonpregnant women. The simultaneous occurrence of serum zinc decrease and cadmium increase during pregnancy may be a potential risk for the growth and development of foetus. So the interfering role of cadmium should not be neglected whenever we estimate zinc or copper status.
