Abstract:
:Total protein, alphafetoprotein, albumin, prealbumin, alpha-1-antitrypsin, transferrin and ceruloplasmin levels were measured in samples of human fetal and neonatal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (97 cases), obtained between 12 and 41 weeks of gestation. In 39 of these cases (13 to 40 weeks gestation) plasma was also available for comparative analysis. CSF was collected from lateral ventricles in the first half of gestation and from the lumbar region in the second. Since these CSF samples were obtained from different sites, the protein levels in the lateral ventricle (early) samples could not be compared directly with those in the lumbar (later) samples. However, the mean protein levels in the lumbar samples were lower than those in the ventricular samples, which is in accord with the decline in CSF protein levels described in maturing animal fetuses. Despite a wide scatter of results, particularly in the first half of gestation, significant decline in the level of CSF alphafetoprotein was demonstrated during both first and second halves of gestation, and of albumin and prealbumin in the second half. No sex differences were found except for ceruloplasmin in lumbar CSF later in gestation, when males had higher levels than females. In fetal plasma, protein levels increased with increasing gestation apart from alphafetoprotein and prealbumin which both declined progressively. CSF/plasma ratios were dissimilar for different proteins, and changed with increasing gestation. These findings support the concept that the human fetal blood brain barrier matures early.
