| Insulin seems to exert an inhibitory effect on lung maturation. The incidence of respiratory distress syndrome in neonates of diabetic mothers is significantly greater than that observed in age-and weight-matched controls. Thus hyperinsulinemia may be an important factor in the developemnt of RDS.

| The metabolic disturbances of Reye’s syndrome are many and involve carbohydrates, amino acids, free fatty acids, proteins, ammonia and acid-base balance.

Of primary interests in this study is the abnormalities regarding... |
