The embryonic and fetal period is wrought with oxidative challenges, which can impact development (Chap. 1 ). These lead to long-lasting consequences in neonatal life and beyond. This book will evaluate the continuum of perinatal to postnatal oxidative stress and address possible therapeutic strategies to mitigate the deleterious effects. In the prenatal period, maternalconstitutive or acquired exposure to oxidative injury can result in pathology that impacts both the mother and the fetus.
