Abstract: | The sixty-seven newborns were investigated. The umbilical cord blood samples were used to determine following indices: total cholesterol, LDL, HDL2, HDL3-cholesterol, total phospholipids, LDL, HDL-phospholipids, triglycerides and apolipoprotein B. The chi 2 test indicated correlations between increased levels of triglycerides, phospholipids LDL and cholesterol HDL2 and decreased level of cholesterol LDL in the group of newborns with the lowest delivery body mass. |
