Cord Blood Lipids of Normal Infants and Infants of Diabetic Mothers.

چکیده

Cord blood serum lipids are much lower than those of adults. Two recent studies of cord blood lipids of infants of diabetic mothers (Pantelakis, Cameron, Davidson, Dunn, Fosbrooke, Lloyd, Malins, and Wolff, 1964; Lloyd, 1963) suggest that certain lipid fractions are higher in these infants than in infants of normal mothers. In view of recent work suggesting that in diabetes mellitus a disturbance of lipid metabolism may precede that of carbohydrate metabolism (Randle, Garland, Hales and Newsholme, 1963), it was decided to reinvestigate cord blood lipids in infants of diabetic mothers and to compare them with those of normal infants.
