Bilirubin and ascorbate antioxidant activity in neonatal plasma
Open accessAbstract
Extremely low birth weight premature infants have been known for many years to have limited antioxidant protective capacity, especially with reference to those antioxidant components which do not cross the placenta until the third trimester of gestation. In this study the total antioxidant activity and the concentrations of individual antioxidants in plasma from premature neonates (27 ± 2 weeks gestation) compared to term babies (38–41 weeks gestation) have been examined. The results show elevated levels of ascorbate at birth in the plasma of premature neonates compared with those of term babies, but the total plasma antioxidant status of the premature babies is significantly lower than that of term babies. At 5 days post‐partum the ascorbate levels are within the normal adult range and plasma bilirubin levels are considerably enhanced in both groups, while the total plasma antioxidant status of the premature neonates has increased. Analysis of the relationship between the total plasma antioxidant activity and the bilirubin concentration show a direct, highly significant correlation for the term group, r 2 = 0.774, consistent with significance of bilirubin as a plasma antioxidant.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
