27-OHC levels and the 27-OHC/TC-ratio of women with gestational diseases in the cross-sectional study group. No significant differences were observed between any of the study groups and the CTRL. CTRL: control group. PE: preeclampsia. IUGR: intrauterine growth restriction. ICP: intrahepatic cholestasis in pregnancy. HELLP: hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets syndrome. 27-OHC: 27-hydroxycholesterol. TC: total cholesterol. Correlations were analyzed by Spearman’s correlation coefficient. Correlation coefficient values were considered significant if p-value was <0.05. Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn’s comparison post hoc test was conducted for comparison of measured variables between the groups where indicated. Values of p < 0.05 were regarded as significant
