VALDES MORENO, Jorge; CARDELLA ROSALES, Lidia y GOMEZ ALVAREZ, Ana María. Comparison between lipid variable values of newborns of healthy mothers and those of newborns of mothers with some atherogenic risk factor. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2007, vol.26, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3011.
A group of lipidic variables of healthy mothers and of mothers with some atherogenic risk factor and also of their respective newborns were studied in the last six-month period. They belonged to three healthcare areas in Centro Habana municipality. Variables were studied in maternal serum and in serum from the umbilical cord of newborns, that is, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol, triacylglycerols, and total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol index. The lipidic profile of mothers was compared to that of their newborns; a significant correlation coefficient was found (r=0,524) between healthy mothers´ cholesterol and that of their newborn children. Most of children of mothers with cholesterol figures exceeding the normal values also had higher cholesterol values. The total cholesterol values in children of mothers with some risk factor turned to be significantly higher than those observed in newborns of healthy mothers.
