Cord blood vitamin E and lipids in infants born small for gestational age.

Abstract

elevated cord blood vitamin E concentrations may be associated with a higher risk of SGA and are positively correlated with lipid levels, suggesting a potential role for vitamin E in fetal lipid metabolism. • Vitamin E is associated with the regulation of lipid metabolism. • Vitamin E is inversely related to birth weight. • Elevated cord blood vitamin E concentrations may be associated with a higher risk of SGA and positively correlated with lipid levels.
