[Role of breast feeding in the development of the function of the hypophyseal-adrenal system in newborn infants in the early neonatal period].
A radioimmunoassay was used for a study of ACTH, cortisol and aldosterone levels in the blood plasma of 96 infants and in breast milk. The plasma level of these hormones in the first days after delivery was high. A regular decrease in the level of the hormones was noted by the end of the early neonatal period. A high level of hormones in the first days of infant's life was associated with delivery stress. Reverse correlation was observed between ACTH and hormones secreted by the pituitary gland in foremilk and mature breast milk.
