The placenta is a transient fetal organ that plays a critical role in the health and wellbeing of
both the fetus and its mother. Functionally, the placenta sustains the growth of the fetus as it …

The most important function of the placenta is the exchange of nutrients and oxygen
between a mother and her fetus. To establish a healthy functioning placenta, placentation …

Considerable evidence implicates oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of many
complications of human pregnancy, and this topic has now become a major focus of both …

Oxidative stress (OS), a state characterized by an imbalance between pro-oxidant molecules
including reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, and antioxidant defenses, has been …

In a healthy body, ROS (reactive oxygen species) and antioxidants remain in balance. When
the balance is disrupted towards an overabundance of ROS, oxidative stress (OS) occurs …

Objective: To review the role of oxidative stress in two common placental-related disorders
of pregnancy, miscarriage and preeclampsia. Methods: Review of published literature …

Miscarriage and pre-eclampsia are the most common disorders of human pregnancy. Both
are placental-related and exceptional in other mammalian species. Ultrasound imaging has …
