[Comparative studies into lipid component levels of parturients with EPH gestosis and of their newborns (author's transl)].

Statistically significant rises in LDL (low density lipoprotein) concentrations, low cholesterol levels, and total lipid levels significantly below those recorded from newborns of clinically intact mothers were established from newborns of mothers with moderate and severe EPH gestosis. The above parameters did not deviate largely from the normal in patients with moderate gestosis. The levels of total lipids, cholesterol, and LDL in the serum of the newborns were clearly lower than those recordable from the serum of the mothers.
