Abstract

Urinary organic acid metabolite excretion patterns in normal newborns aged 1 to 7 days were analysed by GC and MS. Statistical analysis showed significantly different relationships between metabolite excretion, age, sex and feed. The data provide a necessary background for the diagnosis of inborn errors of organic acid metabolism.
