Abstract

Objective To investigate the correlation between the maternal serum sialic acid (SA) contents,umbilical cord serum SA contents,SA placenta transport rate with infant early growth and development. Methods Prospective cohort study was carried from early pregnancy,followed up to middle,late pregnancy and delivery.The relationships between maternal serum sialic acid at three stages of pregnancy,with offspring birth weight,height,head circumference and Kaup index were carried out. Results There were no significant differences in the neonatal birth weight,birth length,birth head circumference and Kaup index respectively in different serum SA contents in early pregnancy,middle pregnancy and late pregnancy(P>0.05).And there were no significant differences of umbilical cord serum SA and SA placenta transfer rate on neonatal outcome either(P>0.05). Conclusions There are no significant effects of maternal serum SA contents during pregnancy,fetal umbilical cord SA levels and SA placenta transfer rate on birth physical growth.SA doesn't cause obesity to infants.SA placenta transport rate can reflect the nutritional needs for fetal growth and development.
