| Abstract | ||
| During the holy month of Ramadhan, Muslims abstain from all food and drink between down and dusk. The present study examines the effect of fasting on certain biochemical variables. pregnant mothers aged 18-35 years have been selected. Blood sample and determination of the fasting plasma glucose, was done in the 2nd, 14th and 28th days of Ramadhan. Pregnant mothers undergoing a normal physiological fast were served as a control. The values of plasma glucose insulin and lactate were significantly decreased at the 28th day of Ramadan in comparison to basal level of of the control group. Also significant increases of serum hydroxybutyrate at 28th days were observed. Considering this result, mothers should take up the dispensation from fasting during pregnancy, which is allowed according to our Holly Quran, Sura Al-Bakarah . | ||
