HP and hydrops fetalis: Treatment with HF (92.03 ± 3.23 μmol FeSO4/mg protein) showed numerically higher values, although comparable to those obtained with HS (64.07 ± 3.32 μmol FeSO4/mg protein), HP (67.56 ± 11.35 μmol FeSO4/mg protein) and BC (72.03 ± 3.91 μmol FeSO4/mg protein), but significantly (p ≤ 0.05) higher than SH (44.69 ± 7.42 μmol FeSO4/mg protein).
