This review examines oxidative stress mechanisms in fetal growth restriction, suggesting antioxidant therapies may improve outcomes.

This review aims to explore the role of reactive oxygen species in fetal growth restriction and evaluate potential therapeutic strategies.
Analysis of oxidative stress markers in maternal plasma, cord blood, and placental tissues.
Review of relevant mechanisms, including endoplasmic reticulum stress and epigenetic alterations.
Assessment of clinical studies on antioxidant therapies and their potential impact on perinatal outcomes.
Elevated markers of oxidative stress are consistently found in FGR pregnancies.
Compensatory upregulation of certain antioxidants, alongside declining catalase activity, indicates oxidative burden.
Several antioxidant treatments show promise, but their efficacy is influenced by timing and dosage in gestation.

Cheng et al. (2026) studied this question.
