Oxidative Stress as a Primary Risk Factor for Brain Damage in Preterm Newborns

Oxidative Stress as a Primary Risk Factor for Brain Damage in Preterm Newborns

The risk of oxidative stress is high in preterm newborns. Room air exposure of an organism primed to develop in a hypoxic environment, lacking antioxidant defenses, and subjected to hyperoxia, hypoxia, and ischemia challenges the newborn with oxidative stress production. Free radicals can be generat...
