Outline of Final Research Achievements

We examined the ApN value of preterm small-for-gestational age (SGA) neonates and appropriate-for-gestational (AGA) neonates continuously. We considered that the rapid increase in weight until corrected one month had affected the infancy secretion of ApN in SGA neonates.
No management of blood sugar was affected fetal growth in mild gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, this phenomenon could not be explained by the change of an IGF-IGFBP system.
