Summary Serum gastrin I concentrations were investigated by radioimmunoassay in 50 mothers and their newborn infants immediately after birth. The mean serum gastrin concentration in maternal blood was 52.80 ± 13.37 (SD) pg/ml, and in cord blood 84.12±42.90 (SD) pg/ml. Both values were significantly higher than serum gastrin levels found in normal, healthy, nonpregnant women (Mean±D = 32.34±18.35 pg/ml). There were no statistically significant differences in the cord serum gastrin concentrations with respect to sex, weight and length of the infant and age and parity of the mother.
