Role of Redox in Fetal Development and Neonatal Diseases

Abstract excerpt

In the cell, reducing and oxidizing molecules modulate the redox state. In embryonic and fetal growth, increased oxidative stress may be detrimental, but an oxidized state can also be beneficial. This is because redox may also affect key transcription factors that can alter gene expression during development. In addition, redox may impact on placentation and amniotic membrane integrity during pregnancy. Lastly,...
