Fibronectin functions in many areas, such as cell-matrix or cell to cell adhesion, mobilization and differentiation of cells, opsonization, and tissue repair. In this study, plasma fibronectin (p-FN) values of 348 subjects from newborns to adults were measured in an effort to examine the differences in ages and sexes. Results:(1) Fibronectin values during the newborn period were 60 to 70% those of the adult period, increased as the child drew and reached the adult value at the age of 10 years. (2) There were no differences in p-FN values between sexes until 10 years old, thereafter, female values were 10 to 15% less those of the male. (3) There were correlative tendencies in newborn babies between gestational weeks and plasma fibronectin concentrations. (4) For evaluation of plasma fibronectin values, it is necessaary to consider the subject's age and sex, particularly in children, whose fibronectin values are lower than those of adults.}, pages = {642--648}, title = {小児期における血漿Fibronectinの動態に関する研究 : 第1報 健常小児における検討}, volume = {106}, year = {1992} }
