Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does maternal allopurinol during fetal hypoxia lower cord blood levels of the brain injury marker S-100B?
Answer: Maternal allopurinol/oxypurinol crosses the placenta during fetal hypoxia. In fetuses/newborns with therapeutic allopurinol/oxypurinol concentrations in cord blood, lower plasma levels of the brain injury marker protein S-100B were detected. A larger allopurinol trial in compromised fetuses at term seems warranted. The allopurinol dosage must be adjusted to achieve therapeutic fetal allopurinol/oxypurinol concentrations.
Output (English): yes
