Risk Factors for Hypoglycemia in Newborns as the Basis of Many Types of Human Pathology

Abstract

Glucose is the main energy substrate that supports the viability of the body’s cells and their physiological development. A deficiency of glucose in the body of a newborn leads to hypoxia and disruption of neurogenesis processes in the brain. The use of the body’s fats and proteins as an energy source, in the absence of glucose, does not meet the energy needs and contributes to the accumulation of intermediate toxic products. Children born with hypoglycemia get sick more often, have a shorter lifespan, and during the reproductive period experience infertility and miscarriage more frequently [1]. Therefore, identifying the risk factors for neonatal hypoglycemia expands the preventive capabilities of medicine, strengthens the health of the nation, and its intellectual and reproductive potential!!!
