Premature infants are exposed to increased generation of reactive oxygen species, and on
the other hand, they have a deficient antioxidant defense system. Oxidative insult is a salient …

We review oxidative stress‐related newborn disease and the mechanism of oxidative
damage. In addition, we outline diagnostic and therapeutic strategies and future directions …

Oxidative stress (OS) refers to the imbalance between the generation of reactive oxygen
species (ROS) and the ability to scavenge these ROS by endogenous antioxidant systems …

Oxidative stress (OS) is defined as an unbalance between prooxidant and antioxidant
factors that can lead to cellular and tissue damage. The newborn, especially if preterm, is …

Preterm birth is the leading cause of death in children under 5 years of age. Premature
infants who receive life-saving oxygen therapy often develop bronchopulmonary dysplasia …

Contents Free radicals are highly reactive oxidizing agents containing one or more unpaired
electrons. Both in human and veterinary neonathology, it is generally accepted that oxidative …

High-risk preterm infants are affected by a higher incidence of cognitive developmental
deficits due to the unavoidable risk factor of oxygen toxicity. Caffeine is known to have a …

Respiratory distress syndrome is the commonest respiratory disorder in preterm infants.
Although it is well known that preterm birth has a key role, the mechanisms of lung injury …

Macular carotenoids, which consist of lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin, are dietary
antioxidants and macular pigments in the eyes, protecting the macula from light-induced …
