title: [Role of some central mechanisms of carbohydrate metabolism in premature newborns with hypoglycaemic episodes].
abstract: Hormones of the fetoplacental system and neurohormones are very important in the processes of metabolic adaptation and carbohydrate metabolism in particular. The levels of prolactin and somatotropin were detected in blood plasma of newborns to study the role of neurohormones in the development of newborn hypoglycaemia. The level of prolactin was also measured in mothers' milk. According to the obtained data, children at early neonatal period have insufficient production of somatotropin. Hyperprolactinaemia is typical for newborns. It testifies that this hormone plays an important part in metabolic homeostasis.
