[Serum lipids and proteins in newborn infants in Ivory Coast]

This study has permitted, from samples of the cord of 521 newborns in the Ivory Coast, to determine the average values of the following blood parameters: total proteins, total cholesterol, triglycerides, uric-acid, natrium, high density lipoproteins (HDL), very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), low density lipoproteins (LDL), HDL cholesterol (HDLC), VLDL cholesterol (VLDL-C), LDL cholesterol (LDLC), albumin, alpha 1, alpha 2, beta and gammaglobulins. Variations of the biochemical parameters in function of sex, social standard and races, as well as the correlations between the lipidic and protidic parameters were set forth.
