Concentração sérica de lípides e apolipoproteína B em recém-nascidos

Abstract

Plasma concentrations of lipids and apo-B in the population of newborns studied are similar to those in newborns from other countries and continents reported in medical literature and, as expected, are markedly lower than the values mentioned in literature for infants over two years of age. Fetal maturity has an impact on the concentration of lipids in newborns, but birth weight does not have any effect on these parameters.

Influence of altered maternal lipid profile on the lipid profile of the newborn

“…The normal physiological increase in circulating lipids allows the mother to have a valuable source of energy for her and for the baby and keeps their metabolic rate steady, enabling the healthy development of the newborn (6). However, during intrauterine development, pathophysiological processes can occur in the metabolism of the lipids leading to abnormal serum concentrations in fetal circulation (7)(8)(9)(10)(11).…”
