The concentrations of serum retinol-binding protein (RBP), prealbumin (PA) and vitamin A of Indonesian neonates were compared with those of Japanese neonates. The mean serum concentrations of both PA and vitamin A did not differ significantly in Indonesian and Japanese neonates. Indonesian neonates had significantly higher serum RBP (2.75 +/- 0.87 mg/dl, mean +/- SD) than Japanese neonates (1.65 +/- 0.55 mg/dl, p less than 0.01). The molar ratio of vitamin A:RBP in Indonesian infants was significantly lower than in Japanese infants (p less than 0.02), and this in turn is indicative of increased concentrations of retinol-free RBP in the plasma of Indonesian neonates. The results suggest that RBP metabolism in Indonesian neonates differs from that in Japanese neonates.
将印度尼西亚新生儿的血清视黄醇结合蛋白(RBP)、前白蛋白(PA)和维生素A的浓度与日本新生儿的进行了比较。印度尼西亚和日本新生儿的PA和维生素A的平均血清浓度没有显著差异。印度尼西亚新生儿的血清RBP(2.75±0.87mg/dl,平均值±标准差)显著高于日本新生儿(1.65±0.55mg/dl,p<0.01)。印度尼西亚婴儿中维生素A:RBP的摩尔比显著低于日本婴儿(p<0.02),这反过来表明印度尼西亚新生儿血浆中无视黄醇RBP的浓度增加。结果表明,印度尼西亚新生儿的RBP代谢与日本新生儿不同。
