SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The continuum of maternal, fetal and neonatal metabolism is uniquely documented in this reference book. The chapters are written by specialists in the fields of pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, and endocrinology and metabolism. They focus on the physiological/biochemical perspective and explore clinical correlations where appropriate. For neonatologists, maternal/fetal medicine specialists and other physicians interested in perinatal metabolism, this reference gives a thorough up-to-date analysis of the metabolic changes occurring throughout the perinatal period.
