    Maternal levels of protein sulfhydryls in early labor, stratified by eventual intrapartum fever status

    Decreased protein sulfydryl levels correspond to higher levels of oxidative stress. Median levels

    Maternal levels of protein sulfhydryls in early labor, stratified by eventual intrapartum fever status

    Decreased protein sulfydryl levels correspond to higher levels of oxidative stress. Median levels in the 2 groups were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. A significant difference in median levels was seen between groups (P ≤ .001).

    Cord blood levels of protein sulfhydryls in neonates born to women with and without intrapartum fever

    Decreased protein sulfydryl levels correspond to higher levels of oxidative stress. Median levels in the 2 groups were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. No significant difference was seen (P = .99).
