Currently, there is no way to treat the neurological damage produced by oxygen deprivation. How Lack of Oxygen Affects the Fetal Brain ...

During pregnancy, the mother supplies the fetus with nutrients and oxygen via the placenta. If placental development is impaired, this may lead to growth disorders of the embryo or to life ...

"Fetal brain damage from oxygen deprivation involves specific changes that are, surprisingly, mediated by this lipid signal called LPA," said Scripps Research Professor Jerold Chun, MD, PhD, a ...

During critical periods of fetal organ development, IHC may result in a lack of oxygen and nutrient transport from the mother's blood to fetal circulation.

During critical periods of fetal organ development, IHC may result in a lack of oxygen and nutrient transport from the mother's blood to fetal circulation.

The ductus arteriosus functions as a shunt to divert blood away from the fetal lungs as they develop and oxygen is acquired directly from the mother’s circulation.
