4. Simultaneously measured renin and All levels have not, to our knowledge, been previously reported for this age group. The results show that the high levels seen in infancy remain above adult levels during the first few years of life. However, it appears that the stimuli of relative hypotension and hyponatraemia are controlling factors at these ages Circadian variations in blood and urine levels of cyclic-AMP (Holmes and Hamadah, 1977) and melatonin (Wurtman and Moskowitz, 1977) is well documented, and the melatonin rhythm is maintained in pregnant women (Matthews;Smales, R.C.; Pipkin, F.Broughton; M.;et al; We investigated these rhythms in neonates and attempted to assess the influence of maternal circadian activity of melatonin on rhythm development in the baby. Blood was taken for serum melatonin estimation from the umbilical cords of 26 normal term infants, and paired samples of cord and maternal blood samples were taken from a further as well as in adulthood,1978
5. The results of 26 cord blood melatonin assays (Table 1) show a clear circadian rhythm. The daytime (0800-2000 hours) levels are significantly lower than the night-time (2000-0800 hours) ones (P< 0 05). Assay of the paired samples showed no assessing small-for-dates babies, we measured upper significant correlation between cord and maternal arm muscle and fat area (derived from mid-upper arm circumference and skinfold measurements) in 221 unselected term neonates. Results were expressed per unit upper arm length. Irrespective of birthweight, serum melatonin levels. The maternal levels showed no carcadian rhythm. Cord serum cyclic-AMP levels showed a circadian rhythm (Table 2). The morning (0000-1200
