[Amino acid imbalance in the blood of pregnant diabetic women and their newborn infants--limit values for screening. II. Neonatal amino acid imbalance].
Free amino acids were studied in the blood of 50 newborns each of women with intact metabolism and of diabetic mothers. The tests were conducted immediately after delivery and on the fifth day of age. Amino acid imbalance reflected, after birth, in changed concentrations of glutamic acid-threonine, alanine and glycin-serine was recordable from newborns of the diabetic mothers. However, nothing but significant changes in concentrations of glutamic acid-threonine and alanine was recordable on the fifth day of age. --An account is given of the formulae and nomograms (applicable instead of these formulae) for postpartum amino acid concentrations and for concentrations on the fifth day of age, being established by discriminant analysis. These can be used to identify alterations inflicted upon amino acid metabolism by diabetes mellitus.
