All data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation (SD) or median (IQR) as appropriate. Phenotypic data for pre-eclamptic and control women were compared using a two-tailed independent t-test for continuous parameters, and Pearson Chi-square for comparative analysis of categorical variables. One way ANOVA (with post hoc Tukey HSD test if significant) was used to compare the plasma levels of the total and the oxidized AGT between the three studied groups. Kruskal Wallis ANOVA was used to analyse GPx activity across groups. Statistical analysis was performed with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 22.0 (SPPS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) and GraphPad Prism 6 (GraphPad Software, Inc., La Jolla, CA 92037 USA). The Null Hypothesis was rejected at P < 0.05.
