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...

Apolipoprotein B is the main structural surface protein found on all beta-lipoproteins (Chylomicrons, VLDLs, IDLs and LDLs). There is a single molecule of apoB on each of those lipoproteins. It is the only apolipoprotein that is not transferablei.e. it is with the particle from its birth till its death. Beta-lipoproteins are the lipoproteins capable of trafficking cholesterol into the artery wa...
