ABSTRACT: Lipid parameters in the cord blood of neonates and that of their mothers at birth were studied in a series of 67 subjects divides in accordance with prior disease or diseases arising during pregnancy. From the results obtained in this albeit restricted study, agreement is expressed with the literature view that there is a common genetic control of lipid metabolism in the foetus, which is unusual and independent of that in the mother. An interesting, though unexplained finding was the absence of prebetalipoproteins in the cord blood of 71.5% of the control group.

ABSTRACT: Chemical determination of total and esterified cholesterol and electrophoretic separation of plasma lipoproteins was carried out in a chemico-clinical approach to the pathology of lipide metabolism in pregnancy. In a future study, the investigation will be extended to the neonatal aspect of the problem. 136 women were studied, with 446 samples being taken, specifically: 65 controls, i.e. pregnant women not presenting pathology that might obviously involve lipide metabolism, 36 hypertense pregnant women, 28 diabetic and 7 with gravidic hepatosis. Observation of the data confirms that in pregnancy there is a steady, meaningful increase in cholesterolaemia and that the electrophoretic picture shows a steady reduction in alpha-lipoproteins, with stimulatneous increase in pre-beta proteins, reaching a peak in hepatosis cases, and an increase in beta lipoproteins. All this agrees with functional and teleological modifications in lipide metabolism during gestation.
