. Cord serum total cholesterol, very low density lipoprotein‐, low density lipoprotein‐, high density lipoprotein‐cholesterol and triglyceride was determined in 30 AGA infants and 35 SGA infants born between the ≥37th≤42th week of gestation and in 26 AGA infants born between the ≥33th<37th week of gestation. In SGA infants significantly higher VLDL‐cholesterol and triglyceride values vere found than in AGA infants. In AGA infants <37 weeks of gestation total cholesterol, LDL‐, and HDL‐cholesterol concentrations were higher than in AGA infants ≥37 weeks of gestation. In 10 betamethasone‐treated AGA infants <37 weeks of gestation HDL‐cholesterol was higher than in 16 untreated AGA infants <37 weeks of gestation.
