Abstract: Due to immature antioxidant defenses, preterm infants are at susceptible to oxidative stress, which is associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, retinopathy of prematurity and periventricular leukomalacia. The general aim of this thesis was to study oxidative stress in preterm infants and to explore possible options to reduce the impact of oxidative stress in neonatal care. \nThe studies presented in this thesis concern the optimal oxygen concentration for the resuscitation at birth, the effect of early parenteral nutriotion on oxidative stress and other modulators of oxidatove stress in preterm infants.
