Impact of intrauterine fetal resuscitation with oxygen on oxidative stress in the developing rat brain

Abstract Use of maternal oxygen for intrauterine resuscitation is contentious because of the lack of evidence for its efficacy and the possibility of fetal harm through oxidative stress. Because the developing brain is rich in lipids and low in antioxidants, it remains vulnerable to oxidative stress...
