Abstract
Cord blood total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (C-LDL, C-HDL)were studied in 423 and 500 Russian (R) and American (A) neonates to determine if previously reported higher C-HDL in R adult males (10 mg/dl > A males) would also be observed at birth. Consecutive live births in R and A were studied by a common protocol, using standardized Lipid Research Clinics laboratories. C-HDL percentile distributions were:
Mean lipid and lipoprotein levels for male and female subsets from R and A neonate cohorts were as follows:
C-HDL in A neonates was slightly higher than in R, as was TG and TC; the ratios of C-HDL/TC and C-HDL/C-LDL were similar. Within limits of genicity as expressed by cord blood, R and A C-HDL did not parallel adult C-HDL, suggesting adult environmental effects.
