Abstract
The levels of apolipoproteins, A-I, A-II, B and E, lipoprotein (a) and of total cholesterol and triglycerides were determined in cord serum and in capillary serum at the fifth day of life in a group of 44 term newborns. Additionally, cord serum lipoproteins were estimated. Sera from 26 healthy adults were studied for comparison. The concentrations of lipids and lipoproteins in cord serum were diminished as compared to adult levels. The occurrence of lipoprotein (a) in cord serum in concentrations significantly lower than in adults could be established. Serum apolipoproteins A-I, A-II and B were significantly lower at birth than in the adult, whereas apolipoprotein E levels did not differ from adult concentrations. During the first five days apolipoprotein B levels more than doubled, apolipoprotein A-I increased moderately and apolipoprotein E rose slightly. In contrast, serum lipoprotein (a) and apolipoprotein A-II did not change significantly. Unlike serum cholesterol, the levels of apolipoproteins B and E at day five were significantly correlated to those measured at birth in the same infants. The changes of the apolipoprotein pattern during the first week of life reflect the evolution of the lipid transport system of the new...Continue Reading
