Abstract
Results of investigations of the level of proto- and coporphyrins in erythrocytes and excretion of coproto- and uroporphyrins from the organism for two control groups are presented. The first group consisted of healthy males and females 20–33 years of age; the second group was consisted of females with nonpathological pregnancy. Levels of proto- and coporphyrins in erythrocytes and copro- and uroporphyrins in urine are investigated. A reliable (P<0.03) increase in the protoporphyrin concentration in erythrocytes of pregnant females compared to the first control group is found. The average protoporphyrin levels in the first and second groups are 344±18 and 488±20 μg/liter, respectively. Coporphyrin levels in these groups differ insignificantly. Coporphyrin excretion from the organism of pregnant females has shown a tendency to increase for pregnancy terms of up to eight weeks and decrease for long terms (more than 32 weeks).
