Brief Summary

INCREASE OF PROSTAGLANDIN E2 IN REVERSAL OF DUCTAL CONSTRICTION AFTER DIETARY RESTRICTION OF POLYPHENOLS. Clinical trial with a healthy group as comparator. The interventional group was made up of third-trimester mothers whose single fetuses had ductal constriction, excluding those exposed to NSAID, and the control group only by third-trimester normal fetuses. The interventional group was submitted to dietary orientation to restrict polyphenol-rich foods and both groups answered a food frequency questionnaire after fetal Doppler-echocardiographic examination and blood draw for PGE2 levels analysis. After two weeks, the women were again submitted to fetal echocardiogram, dietary assessment and blood draw.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Plasma levels of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)

    PGE2 was quantified by capture ELISA. The measurements were obtained through 4-parameter linear regression (Excel, Microsoft), and data were expressed in picograms of protein per milliliter (pg/mL).

    baseline and two weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Consumption of foods rich in Total Polyphenols (TP)

    baseline and two weeks

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Diagnostic parameters of fetal ductus arteriosus constriction

    baseline and two weeks

Study Arms (2)

interventional group

EXPERIMENTAL

The interventional group was submitted to dietary orientation to restrict polyphenol-rich foods

Other: restrict polyphenol-rich foods

control group

NO INTERVENTION
