Abstract
AA are performing a study of amniotic fluid parameters for evaluating fetal growth. I.R.I., determined by radioimmunoassay, according with charcoal method, and a few aminoacids /chiefly phenylalanine and tyrosine determined by fluorometry/ are taken into consideration. There is a significant negative correlation between I.R.I, and aminoacids. There is a significant positive correlation between the two aminoacids. The letter increase in fetal distress and in cases of fetal death. Other aspects concerning the relationships between biochemical data of amniotic fluid and fetal growth, the role of insuline for fetal growth and metabolism of phenylalanine and tyrosine in fetal life are discussed.
