(Reuters) – FLORENCE, 19th February – Know the health of the fetus through the analysis of oxidative stress. This diagnostic capability is available from the neonatal paediatrics AOU of Siena, allows you to discover the main disease of the newborn evaluating the balance between production and elimination of free radicals. “The alteration of the balance between production and detoxification of free radicals present in the cells – explains Giuseppe Buonocore, director of paediatrics neonatal – determines conditions of oxidative stress that is damage to lipids, proteins and DNA that cause diseases in various organs and systems . During the pregnancy may be responsible for a lack of growth in the uterus and, in the most serious brain damage. ” To evaluate oxidative stress in pregnancy there are three possibilities: urinalysis or blood test in women or, in the case of amniocentesis, evaluation through the amniotic fluid. “Diseases from free radicals are often present in preterm infants – adds Buonocore – and, for this reason, it is important to assess the profile of oxidative stress in the umbilical cord. With the blood test, for example, if we know that there is a perfect balance between oxidants and antioxidants, it means that the baby is healthy. Instead we can intervene before the damage will also establish or boost. “(Reuters).
