Abstract

Intrauterine infection or inflammation is a common antecedent of preterm birth that adversely affects fetal lung development. Creatine is a safe nutritional supplement with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits that presents a novel approach to mitigate the adverse effects of intrauterine inflammation on fetal lung development. This thesis investigated whether creatine supplementation attenuates pulmonary inflammation and oxidative stress in fetal lung and pediatric airway inflammation. The results support the therapeutic potential of creatine as a perinatal anti-inflammatory and antioxidant adjuvant and highlight future research directions to elucidate the underlying mechanisms driving the pulmonary responses to creatine supplementation.
