Summary

Immunoreactive insulin (IRI) and immunoreactive glucagon (IRG) were determined in the amniotic fluid from 28 rhesus isoimmunized pregnancies with moderately affected fetuses and from 15 normal pregnancies; in umbilical arterial plasma from nine newborn infants with rhesus haemolytic disease of moderate degree and from 19 normal infants; in plasma from their respective mothers at delivery; and in the urine of 13 normal infants at birth. Levels of IRI and IRG in amniotic fluid from rhesus cases were not different from those of normal pregnancies. IRG was detected in the first voided neonatal urine.
