Abstract:We measured the number of glucocorticoid receptors (GR) in cord blood lymphocytes and the binding affinity (Kd) in 15 term and in 20 preterm babies. Thirteen preterms of the latter group received prenatal steroid treatment. Seven preterms developed neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS). The number of GR and the Kd were similar in the term and preterm (with and without NRDS) babies. The maximum (3H)-thymidine incorporation into DNA of cord blood lymphocytes from all preterms, with or without NRDS was su… Show more
