[Reference values for apolipoproteins and HDL-2/HDL-3 in childhood].

It is known from epidemiological studies, that high apolipoprotein B or low HDL-2 concentrations in serum are correlated with an increased risk for premature cardiovascular diseases. It was the aim of this study to generate reference values for apolipoproteins and HDL-cholesterol fractions to accomplish early diagnosis and therapy. All concentrations are age depending, being low at birth and increasing during the first years of life. This rise is more pronounced in apolipoprotein B than in apolipoprotein AI and HDL-2. Apolipoprotein II and HDL-3 reach later childhood values as early as at the end of the first month of life. The ratio of B and AI, which is a very good indicator for an increased risk for premature cardiovascular diseases, moves also distinctively upward during the first year of life.

[Reference values for plasma amino acids in the course of pregnancy].

Reference values for 26 plasma amino acids were determined by ion exchange chromatography in 29 healthy pregnant women (1st to 3rd trimenon). The results are given as P50 (P7-P93). In the course of pregnancy the concentrations of amino acids generally decrease. Threonine, however, shows a distinct, statistically significant increase. The interindividual concentration ranges are low and they show little change in the course of pregnancy. The data presented here are relevant for dietary treatment of metabolic disorders, e.g. maternal phenylketonuria in pregnants.
