  • Title: Plasma concentrations of fat-soluble vitamins A and E in neonates with myelomeningocele.
    Author: Drott P, Meurling S.
    Journal: Eur J Pediatr Surg; 1992 Oct; 2(5):265-8. PubMed ID: 1420069.
    Abstract:
    A group of newborn infants with myelomeningocele was compared with a group of neonates suffering from gastrointestinal malformations and a group of healthy children less than one year of age. The parameters studied were prealbumin, retinol-binding protein and the fat-soluble vitamins A and E. There were no significant differences between the groups in the plasma levels of the proteins or vitamin E. Vitamin A levels in newborn infants with myelomeningocele were found to be significantly lower compared to both the other groups.
