Polyamines were detected in the blood of infants during the first six months of life. The highest spermidine levels were found at the 2nd and the 4th month after birth. Spermine, on the contrary, does not show significant differences. Different types of diet produced no changes in the polyamine pattern.

D013095 Spermidine A polyamine formed from putrescine. It is found in almost all tissues in association with nucleic acids. It is found as a cation at all pH values, and is thought to help stabilize some membranes and nucleic acid structures. It is a precursor of spermine.
D013096 Spermine A biogenic polyamine formed from spermidine. It is found in a wide variety of organisms and tissues and is an essential growth factor in some bacteria. It is found as a polycation at all pH values. Spermine is associated with nucleic acids, particularly in viruses, and is thought to stabilize the helical structure.
