Oxidative stress has been shown to be an important contributor to birth defects, including structural malformation and neurobehavioral deficits. At high levels, oxidative stress promotes apoptosis but at lower levels that do not cause cell death, redox-sensitive pathways can be disrupted. Chemicals that cause birth defects usually provide a very distinct developmental outcome, dependent upon gestational periods of exposure and level of exposure, but these observations also suggest that there are specific pathways involved in the manifestation of a given defect. Here, we review overarching themes of oxidative stress and their effects during development and provide specific examples of some of the most notorious human teratogens that produce oxidative stress as part of their teratogenic mechanism. Moving forward, future studies should center on providing a more profound understanding of redox-sensitive elements during development to develop potential preventative interventions.
