Popis: Objective: Parkinson’s disease protein 7 (PARK7/DJ-1) is an important antioxidant multiprotein against inflammation and oxidative stress. We therefore planned this study to demonstrate the association between maternal PARK7 levels and the occurrence of preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). Materials and Methods: We enrolled 80 pregnant women; 50 PPROM patients and 30 healthy controls, into this cross- sectional study between the 24th and 36th gestational weeks. Furthermore, we measured serum PARK 7 levels using enzyme-Linked immunosorbent assay method. Results: Plasma PARK7 levels were higher in PPROM patients compared to those in the healthy controls (p
