Glycosylated fetal hemoglobin levels were measured in umbilical cord blood of normal infants and infants of diabetic mothers. The glycosylated fraction proved to be a stable compound; its level remained unchanged over a 19-day period. Exposure of fetal and adult hemoglobins to the same concentrations of glucose in vitro resulted in similar levels of glycosylated hemoglobins, suggesting that both types of hemoglobin are about equally reactive with glucose. Levels of glycosylated hemoglobin were significantly increased above normal in umbilical cord blood of infants of both Class A and Class B diabetic mothers. A significant relationship was found between macrosomia, reflected in birth weight ratios, and glycosylated hemoglobin from fetal erythrocytes in infants of diabetic mothers. While these data are consistent with the conclusion that glycosylated fetal hemoglobin levels are a function of fetal blood glucose concentrations in utero during the 2 mo before delivery, it is not known whether the glycosylated hemoglobin contributes to the abnormalities other than macrosomia found in infants of diabetic mothers.

D005319 Fetal Hemoglobin The major component of hemoglobin in the fetus. This HEMOGLOBIN has two alpha and two gamma polypeptide subunits in comparison to normal adult hemoglobin, which has two alpha and two beta polypeptide subunits. Fetal hemoglobin concentrations can be elevated (usually above 0.5%) in children and adults affected by LEUKEMIA and several types of ANEMIA. Hemoglobin F,Hemoglobin, Fetal
D006442 Glycated Hemoglobin Products of non-enzymatic reactions between GLUCOSE and HEMOGLOBIN (occurring as a minor fraction of the hemoglobin of ERYTHROCYTES.) It generally refers to glycated HEMOGLOBIN A. Hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c) is hemoglobin A with GLYCATION on a terminal VALINE of the beta chain. Glycated hemoglobin A is used as an index of the average blood sugar level over a lifetime of erythrocytes.
