What is Spontaneous Labor Increases Nitric Oxide Synthesis During the Early Neonatal Period about?
## Background: This paper aimed to assess the influence of spontaneous labor upon endogenous nitric oxide (no) and endothelin 1 (et-1) during transition to extrauterine life. ## Methods: The serum levels of no metabolites (the sum of nitrites and nitrates (nox)) and the plasma level of et-1 were determined in 53 healthy full-term infants (spontaneous labor group; n=40, cesarean delivery group; n=13). in both groups, blood samples were obtained from a cord vein at birth and from a peripheral vein at 5 days of age. ## Results: The differences in serum nox concentrations between the spontaneous labor group and the elective cesarean group were not significant at birth. by the age of 5 days, serum nox concentrations had risen significantly in the spontaneous labor group to become significantly higher in the elective cesarean group. ## Conclusion: It is speculated that spontaneous labor might enhance endogenous no synthesis at 5 days of age.
