title: [Hormones of the hypophyseo-adrenal system and their role in postnatal adaptation of newborns].
abstract: The levels of hormones of melatonin (MT), ACTH, aldosterone (AS) and cortisol were investigated in the blood plasma of mature and premature newborns as well as in foremilk and milk of lactating women using a radioimmunoassay. Maximum concentrations of these hormones in mature infants were noted by the 1st-3rd day, decreasing on the 5th-7th day. The same regularity was observed in premature infants (I-II degree of prematurity). Lower concentrations of these hormones were observed in very premature infants. A conclusion has been made that breast milk is an important link between a mother and an infant in terms of supplying infants with lactogenic hormones.
