Researchers from the University of Iowa (UI) and University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center report that offspring can be protected from the effects of prenatal stress by administering a neuroprotective compound during pregnancy. The team published its study “Maternal P7C3-A20 Treatment Protects Offspring from Neuropsychiatric Sequelae of Prenatal Stress” in
Antioxidants & Redox Signaling.
