It is accepted that alpha-2-M may serve as an important factor for the regulation of homeostasis. For these reasons it is valuable to determine its concentration in some clinical conditions. We have found that the level of alpha-2-M is evidently higher in hypotrophic newborns than in neutrophic newborns. It is interesting to note that the mothers of hypotrophic newborns also exhibit increased concentration of alpha-2-M in comparison to the mothers of eutrophic newborns. No differences were observed in concentration of this inhibitor between mothers and this newborns in both groups. Taking under consideration these findings it seems there is an inverse relationship between cord serum alpha-2-M concentrations and birth weight of newborns. Probably the increase of this inhibitor may reflect in some extent its function as moderating factor high susceptibility hypotrophic newborns for infections since alpha-2-M plays so crucial role in inflammatory processes.
