Umbilical Cord Serum Erythropoietin Levels and Maternal Smoking in Pregnancy
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of maternal smoking during pregnancy on levels of umbilical cord erythropoietin. METHODS Erythropoietin levels were measured in umbilical cord sera of 60 newborns who were delivered vaginally at term. There were 20 (33%) smoking and 40 (67%) nonsmoking mothers. RESULTS Mean cord serum erythropoietin levels were significantly lower in the nonsmokers (nonsmoke...
متن کاملComparison of Maternal Serum and Umbilical Cord Blood Leptin Level in IUGR Neonates
Background: Gestational weight gain is an impressive factor in the fetal outcome. Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is one of the most important problems during fetal period that may lead to many perinatal and long-term complications and growing neonatal morbidities and mortalities.

Estrogen stimulates gene expression and protein production of osteoprote-gerin by human osteoblastic cells. Osteoprotegerin ligand is a cytokine that regulates osteoclast differentiation and activation. Immunological characterization of circulating osteoprotegerin/osteoclasto-genesis inhibitory factor: increased serum concentrations in postmeno-pausal women with osteoporosis. Osteoprotegerin an...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Levels of Lipids and Lipoprotein B-100 in Maternal Serum and Umbilical Cord Serum and Assessing Their Effects on Newborn Infants Anthropometric Indices
Background & aim: This study aimed to determine the relationship between lipid and apolipoprotein B-100 (apo B-100) levels in maternal and umbilical cord sera as well as the effects of these components on anthropometric measurements of newborn infants. Methods:This correlational study was performed on 85 appropriate for gestational age (AGA) newborns and their mothers. For analysis, 5 ml of m...
متن کاملMaternal &umbilical cord plasma homocysteine concentrations in pre-eclamptic pregnancy
Back ground: Serum concentrations of homocysteine decrease during normotensive pregnancy, but increases in pre-eclampsia like some other pregnancy complications. Hyperhomocysteinemia has been hypothesized to be associated with placental micro vascularization disease. Objectives: To evaluate the concentration of maternal &umbilical homocysteine in pre-eclamptic women in comparison with that of n...
