10. Mechanisms of oxidative stress related FASD and prevention of AST A.malondialdehyde( MDA) B. hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) C.glutathione peroxidase per oxidase(GPx) 9

11. Intervention of AST on the TLRs system 10

12. Intervention of AST on the TLRs system A.AST inhibited ethanol- induced production of TNF-a B.AST inhibited ethanol- induced production of and IL-1bin embryos 10

13. Discussion AST pretreatment protected embryos from maternal ethanol-induced neurodevelopmental retardation and down-regulation of neural marker genes. Inflammation played a role in mechanisms of FASD. TLR4 is distinct expression in embryos and related to inflammation

14. Conclusions Our results demonstrated a protective effect of astaxanthin on fetal alcohol spectrum disorder Oxidative stress and toll-like receptor signaling associated inflammatory reaction were involved in this process.
