| pubmed-article:7143000 | pubmed:abstractText | The carbohydrate content of human brain glycoproteins was studied during development from the age of 12 fetal weeks to 8 postnatal months. The concentration of all the glycoprotein monosaccharides increased with age. The total amount of glycoprotein monosaccharides per lipid-free dry tissue increased by about 150% from the end of the third fetal month to the time of delivery. The increase leveled off around term, and only minor increase occurred after birth. The adult level was reached by the fifth postnatal month. | lld:pubmed |
