Oxidative stress has been proposed as a possible mechanism underlying nervous system
deficits associated with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). Current research suggests that …

Neurodevelopmental damage can occur as a result of in utero exposure to alcohol.
Oxidative stress processes are one of many proposed mechanisms thought to contribute to …

Fetal alcohol syndrome is characterized by numerous nervous system anomalies with the
developing hippocampus being highly vulnerable. Other conditions can result from maternal …

Background: The cerebellum of the neonatal rat is highly susceptible to ethanol, with
profound loss of Purkinje cells resulting from even brief exposure during the first postnatal …

Introduction Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder is caused by maternal ethanol exposure; it
causes physical, behavioral, cognitive, and neural impairments (Murawski et al., 2015) …

Background: This study investigated ethanol influences on intracellular events that
predispose developing neurons toward apoptosis and the capacity of the antioxidant α …

Background The consumption of alcohol during pregnancy can result in abnormal fetal
development and impaired brain function in humans and experimental animal models …

In this study, we established an embryo model to study the effects of ethanol on fetal
development. When embryos of Xenopus laevis (the African clawed frog) were exposed to …

Developmental ethanol exposure leads to a variety of abnormalities in the central nervous
system (CNS). Mechanisms proposed as underlying these effects include alterations of …

The ingestion of alcohol/ethanol during pregnancy can result in abnormal fetal development
in both humans and a variety of experimental animal models. Depending on the pattern of …
