Abstract
Twenty-five full-term newborns and their mothers constituted study subjects. Mothers were subjected to weight and height measurements, as well as, serum albumin and hemoglobin estimations. Offsprings were subjected to measurements of weight, crown heel length and head circumference along with motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) and H-reflex latency (H-RL). The MNCV was found to be significantly lower in growth retarded (FT-IUGR) babies compared to appropriately grown babies (FT-AGA) whereas H-RL was similar in both FT-IUGR and FT-AGA babies.
