The concentrations of ATP, ADP, AMP; NADP and NADPH; NAD and NADH were determined in erythrocytes from healthy newborns and compared with those obtained in healthy adults. No significant differences were found for the adenine nucleotide concentrations, but NADH levels were reduced in newborn erythrocytes, with a consequent increase in the NAD/NADH ratio. Moreover, in newborn erythrocytes increased levels of NADP were observed, with a consequent increase in the NADP/NADPH ratio and a decrease in the NAD/NADP ratio. These results indicate the need to use reference values of the ratios NAD/NADH, NADP/NADPH and NAD/NADP from healthy newborns in the study of syndromes affecting the metabolism of erythrocytes in the newborn.
