[Serum calcitonin in full-term infants]
Abstract
Determination of calcium (Ca) calcitonin (CT) secretion in mother during labour and their newborns during the first hours of life was carried out. Mean serum levels of Ca decreased after the birth. Mean serum level of Ct was higher in the cord blood comparing with mothers blood. These levels increased after the 6th hour and reached the peak at the 12nd hour. After the 24th hour the CT levels decreased significantly although at the 48th hour they remained higher than those in the cord blood.
