What is it about?
At this study, it is aimed to research DNA damage and oxidative stress in infants with born timely normal spontaneous vaginal delivery (NSVD) and elective caesarean.

Why is it important?
Mean total oxidant capacity, oxidative stress index and DNA damage values were significantly higher in babies born with NSVD compared to those born with elective cesarean section (p <0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, respectively). Serum total antioxidant capacity values were not statistically significant (p=0.127).
Perspectives
In this study, oxidative stress and DNA damage values of babies born with NSVD were found to be higher than those born by elective cesarean section. This suggests that there may be a relationship between the mode of delivery and oxidative stress, and that increased oxidative stress may also lead to DNA damage
