Neonatal and maternal levels of lipid-soluble antioxidants.
1997
: Lipid peroxidation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of several neonatal complications. To improve the knowledge on the antioxidant lipid-soluble defenses in neonatal age, we investigated a group of healthy full-term infants and their mothers measuring by high-pressure liquid chromatography the levels of vitamin E and carotenoids. Our data demonstrate that neonatal levels of lipid-soluble anti-oxidants are lower than the maternal ones. Moreover we show that neonatal Vitamin E and carotenoid concentrations are respectively unrelated and strictly related to maternal levels of the same lipid-soluble anti-oxidants.
