Enzymic evaluation of thiamin, riboflavin and pyridoxine status of parturient mothers and their newborn infants in a Mediterranean area of Spain

Article Abstract:

The biochemical status of thiamin, riboflavin and pyridoxine was evaluated in parturient mothers and their newborn infants in a Mediterranean area of Spain. Results showed that maternal and infant coenzyme activities were significantly correlated but infant coenzyme status was better than maternal. Maternal deficiencies in more than one vitamin further increased the risk of infant thiamin and pyridoxine deficiency. Maternal and infant riboflavin status were significantly correlated with fetal development.
