Blood polyamines have been determined in preterm newborns (24-37 gestation weeks) during the first hours of life and until 20 days after birth. The most elevated polyamine concentrations were found in preterm newborns from the 24th-33rd gestational week. In all preterms, however, polyamine concentrations are higher than in full term newborns. In preterm infants two different patterns of blood polyamines appear in relation to the gestational age: in infants born at 24-34 wk, spermidine reaches the peak at 12 h and spermine shows high concentrations between 12 and 48 h. In infants born at 35-37 wk maximal concentrations of polyamines were reached at 12 h. Successively, in both groups the polyamines progressively decrease up to the 20th day, with some individual variations. Our results may provide a further support to the suggestion of a fetal genesis of polyamines and their involvement in fetal growth. |
