Prenatal Corticosteroids and Antioxidants in Preterm Infants

NCT00791687 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 57

Last updated 2008-11-14

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Premature infants are highly susceptible to oxidative stress because of the immaturity of their antioxidant defense system. The use of prenatal glucocorticosteroids administered to the mother improves respiratory function and overall outcome. The investigators hypothesize that prenatal glucocorticosteroids favor the expression and competence of the antioxidant defense system.
