Antioxidants May Fight Alcohol-Linked Birth Defects
(HealthDayNews, 6/25/04)

Dr. Kathleen K. Sulik of the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, in Chapel Hill, and associates, gave pregnant mice daily doses of ethyl alcohol plus a new antioxidant, EUK-134. The researchers found that pups born to mice supplemented with the antioxidant exhibited a 36% reduction in limb malformations. These findings suggest that antioxidants may decrease the rate of birth defects in the offspring of women who drink during pregnancy.
