title: [Evaluation of the effect of vitamin E on the fetus and newborn baby].
abstract: The authors studied the effect of vitamin E administered antenatally in view of miscarriage on the body of the fetus and newborn. Experiments made on albino rats, their fetuses and newborn rats demonstrated an increase of the mass of the newborn and their organs together with a greater morphofunctional maturity and higher content of vitamin E in the body. Administration of vitamin E to pregnant women also provided a beneficial effect: a favourable course of the neonatal period, a milder course of diseases that occurred, and a high level of natural antioxidants in the children's body.
