Perinatal encephalopathy is a leading cause of lifelong disability. Increasing evidence indicates that the pathogenesis of perinatal brain damage is much more complex than originally thought, with multiple pathways involved. An important role of oxidative stress (OS) in the pathogenesis of brain injury is recognized for preterm and term infants. This article examines potential reliable and specific OS biomarkers that can be used in premature and term infants for the early detection and follow-up of the most common neonatal brain injuries, such as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, intraventricular hemorrhage, and periventricular leukomalacia. The next step will be to explore the correlation between brain-specific OS biomarkers and functional brain outcomes.

Abstract

Perinatal encephalopathy is a leading cause of lifelong disability. Increasing evidence indicates that the pathogenesis of perinatal brain damage is much more complex than originally thought, with multiple pathways involved. An important role of oxidative stress (OS) in the pathogenesis of brain injury is recognized for preterm and term infants. This article examines potential reliable and specific OS biomarkers that can be used in premature and term infants for the early detection and follow-up of the most common neonatal brain injuries, such as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, intraventricular hemorrhage, and periventricular leukomalacia. The next step will be to explore the correlation between brain-specific OS biomarkers and functional brain outcomes.
