Postnatal fetal and adult hemoglobin synthesis is preterm infants whose birth weight was less than 1,000 grams.

Abstract

To determine if environmental factors could effect the switchover from fetal hemoglobin (HbF) to adult hemoglobin (HbA) synthesis, studies were carried out on blood samples from eight infants born at less than 1,000 g, when they had reached their postconceptional age corresponding to term. All of these infants required prolonged intensive care, multiple blood transfusions, and two required exchange transfusions. Several were ventilated mechanically for 60 d and two infants had bronchopulmonary dysplasia at the time of the study. The blood samples were incubated in an amino acid mixture containing [14C]leucine followed by column chromatography on DEAE Sephadex for separation of radioactive HbA and HbF. In spite of the extreme prematurity and poor growth of these sick infants, the proportional synthesis of HbF and HbA, as determined by the incorporation of [14C]leucine during the erythrocyte incubations, was characteristic of the period of human development from which the erythrocytes were obtained.

Citation information
This citation data is accumulated from CrossRef, which receives citation information from participating publishers, including this journal. Not all publishers participate in CrossRef, so this information is not comprehensive. Additionally, data may not reflect the most current citations to this article, and the data may differ from citation information available from other sources (for example, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Scopus).
