  • Title: Hypoglycemia in small-for-dates newborn infants.
    Author: de Leeuw R, de Vries IJ.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 1976 Jul; 58(1):18-22. PubMed ID: 934780.
    Abstract:
    In 24% (18 out of 76) small-for-dates a "significant" though asymptomatic hypoglycemia was demonstrated during the first six hours of life. The cord blood glucose concentration was lower in the hypoglycemic compared to that of the small-for-date normoglycemic group. In the hypoglycemic infants, the disappearance rate of glucose was significantly elevated and the lipid mobilization disturbed. It is suggested that a lack of lipids for energy metabolism increases the glucose expenditure and hence increases the risk for hypoglycemia.
