Myocardial excitation-contraction coupling in the fetus of alloxan-diabetic rabbit.

abstract：:Neonatal susceptibility to overwhelming bacterial infection is commonly attributed to a relative deficiency in serum opsonic activity. However, few studies have compared the functional capacity of the classical complement pathway with that of the alternative complement pathway in the neonate. The opsonic activity of n...
