Authors have studied, in three series of newborns-I) normal term: II) small for date, and III) postmature-, the basal levels of plasmatic cortisol and after stimulation with ACTH. Blood samples were obtained at the 48 hours and 10 days of life, respectively. There are not significative differences in the three groups neither in the basal levels of plasmatic cortisol nor after stimulation (p greater than 0.05). These results show no correlation between postmaturity and fetal adrenal primary or secondary hypocorticism.
作者在三组新生儿中进行了研究——I）足月正常儿；II）小于胎龄儿；III）过期产儿——检测了血浆皮质醇的基础水平以及促肾上腺皮质激素刺激后的水平。分别在出生后48小时和10天时采集血样。三组在血浆皮质醇基础水平及刺激后均无显著差异（p大于0.05）。这些结果表明过期产与胎儿肾上腺原发性或继发性皮质功能减退之间无相关性。
