Choline concentrations in human maternal and cord blood and intelligence at 5 y of age1–3

Low maternal dietary choline intake and low serum total choline concentrations have been reported to be risk factors for neural tube defects (NTDs) 4 (1, 2).. Two recent

For the fetal model, the umbilical cord plasma tHcy concentration was the dependent variable and independent variables were the transformed values for umbilical cord plasma

METHODS: We randomly selected 500 Nepali mother – infant pairs and measured maternal intake and infant and maternal vitamin B12 status using plasma cobalamin, total plasma

The serum concentration of tHcy was significantly lower in cord blood than in the maternal delivery sample (P 쏝 0.001), whereas significantly higher serum concentrations of

Several previous studies have reported total Hg concentrations in maternal blood during pregnancy (Kobayashi et al., 2019; Lee et al., 2010) or in umbilical cord blood (Ballester

We aimed to test comprehensively the hypothesis that low concentrations of 25-hydroxyvi- tamin D in serial maternal and cord blood samples and genetic susceptibility markers for

Maternal serum C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations ( > 95 percentile) based on the presence and absence of microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC) and/or

In the adjusted models, maternal and paternal BMIs were adjusted for each other and for parental education levels, child ’ s year of birth, and maternal parity.... For maternal BMI,
