Maternal inflammation and oxidative stress during pregnancy in relation to early childhood neurodevelopment
These findings suggest that gestational inflammation and oxidative stress may adversely affect early neurodevelopment, with associations potentially modified by gestational timing, child age, and child sex. Future research should prioritize investigating the mediating roles of inflammation and oxidative stress in the relationship between multiple stressors during pregnancy and child neurodevelopment.
