DESCRIPTION:It is now widely accepted that exposure to sub-optimal environ
 ments during early life can increase the risk of disease in later life. Ch
 ronic fetal hypoxia is one of the most common complications of high-risk p
 regnancy. However\, compared with cardiovascular\, endocrine and metabolic
  dysfunction\, few studies have assessed the effects of fetal hypoxia on c
 ognitive function and cerebral structure at adulthood. Furthermore\, inter
 ventional studies in this particular field are almost absent. Using variou
 s animal models\, we have shown that chronic fetal hypoxia programmes cogn
 itive dysfunction and alters cerebral structure at adulthood\, and that ma
 ternal treatment with antioxidants is an effective therapy against this pr
 ogramming.
