Cerebrovascular Effects Of Intrauterine Hypoxia: Contribution To Perinatal Brain Injury

Summary
During pregnancy, delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the growing fetus is sometimes disturbed, and can lead to injury of the developing brain. In this project we investigate the idea that low oxygen (hypoxia) causes brain demage to blood vessels in the fetal brain, and new blood vessesl produced in an attempt to repair this damage are fragile and prone to rupture, explaining the high incidence of bleeding in the brain of prematurely-born and full term infants that experience birth hypoxia.
