Neonatal Lipid Levels - Can They Be a Benchmark for Lipid Lowering in Adults?

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: Objectives: The present study is to determine the baseline lipid profile at birth in healthy newborns and indirectly to ascertain the minimum level to which lipids can be lowered in adults by therapeutic interventions. Further, we also explored the influence of maternal factors on cord blood lipid parameters. Methods: The study group consisted of 100 term newborns and their mothers. Cord blood and fasting maternal serum samples were analyzed for lipid profile, blood sugar and the HbA1c estimation. Mean and standard deviations were calculated. Paired t test and ANOVA test of variance were applied to compare lipid profile parameters of mother with the cord blood.
