Zusammenfassung:This work studied the effect of malaria infection and antimalarial drugs on oxidative stress in 259 pregnant and non-pregnant women at Ade-Oyo hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria. Oxidative stress was determined by measuring serum lipid peroxidation, ascorbic acid, and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels using spectrophotometer. The results showed that mean lipid peroxidation was significantly higher (p
