title: [Free plasma cortisol in mothers and newborn infants immediately after birth].
abstract: Free plasma cortisol levels were determined in 60 mothers and their newborn infants by the method of Ousvatova and Pankov. Twenty healthy, nonpregnant women were used as a control group. The data showed that the level of free plasma cortisol was higher in the mothers than in the healthy, nonpregnant women. The free plasma cortisol level in the newborn infants was lower than in the mothers but higher than in the non-pregnant women.
