Neuroprotection by Caffeine in Hyperoxia-Induced Neonatal Brain Injury

Neuroprotection by Caffeine in Hyperoxia-Induced Neonatal Brain Injury

Sequelae of prematurity triggered by oxidative stress and free radical-mediated tissue damage have coined the term “oxygen radical disease of prematurity”. Caffeine, a potent free radical scavenger and adenosine receptor antagonist, reduces rates of brain damage in preterm infants. In the present st...
