During normal pregnancy, low to moderate ROS levels support essential placental functions such as angiogenesis and trophoblast differentiation. However, excessive ROS production overwhelms antioxidant systems, leading to lipid peroxidation, protein and DNA damage, and impaired placental function. This review synthesizes current evidence linking oxidative stress to adverse pregnancy outcomes, highlighting key biomarkers such as malondialdehyde (MDA), 8-hydroxy-2\u2032-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2\u03b1 (8-iso-PGF2\u03b1). While antioxidant therapies\u2014particularly vitamins C and E, selenium, and folic acid\u2014have shown promise in reducing oxidative markers, their impact on clinical outcomes remains inconsistent. The variability in results underscores the need for standardized biomarker protocols and personalized treatment strategies based on genetic predispositions and baseline oxidative status. Future research may better harness antioxidant interventions to improve maternal\u2013fetal health by addressing these gaps.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/life15091348","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,26]],"date-time":"2025-08-26T10:35:17Z","timestamp":1756204517000},"page":"1348","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Pregnancy Under Pressure: Oxidative Stress as a Common Thread in Maternal Disorders"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Alexandru-Dan","family":"Assani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Doctoral School, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4817-1365","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lidia","family":"Boldeanu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Isabela","family":"Silo\u0219i","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2481-6138","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mihail Virgil","family":"Boldeanu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anda Lorena","family":"Dijm\u0103rescu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-3146-8769","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohamed-Zakaria","family":"Assani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Doctoral School, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Immunology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria-Magdalena","family":"Manolea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7526-1756","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Constantin-Cristian","family":"V\u0103duva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1323","DOI":"10.1007\/s00204-024-03696-4","article-title":"Several lines of antioxidant defense against oxidative stress: Antioxidant enzymes, nanomaterials with multiple enzyme-mimicking activities, and low-molecular-weight antioxidants","volume":"98","author":"Jomova","year":"2024","journal-title":"Arch.
