Gestational Age and the Cord Blood Lipidomic Profile in Late Preterm and Term Infants.

CONCLUSION: There is a strong relationship between gestational age and the cord blood lipid profile at birth, providing further evidence for the importance of metabolic changes of late gestation. A number of the variations in the lipid profile with increasing gestational age are analogous to differences observed in the adult lipid profile with an increasing BMI.
