Vitamin and Mineral Levels of Newborns in Van Basin and Their Relation to Maternal Vitamin and Mineral Status

This study was designed to evaluate the correlation between vitamin and mineral levels of mothers and their neonates. Vitamin, mineral and biochemical parameters were assessed from samples of maternal blood, hair and milk and neonatal hair, umbilical cord blood and meconium. Neonatal retinol plasma levels as well as neonatal alpha- and gamma-tocopherol levels were significantly lower (P
