Statistical differences (parametric Student’s T test):
*** p < 0.001: higher than respective maternal values.
Statistical differences (non-parametric Mann–Whitney-U test):
***1) p < 0.001: higher than NSM value.
***2) p < 0.001: higher than respective newborn values.
***3) p < 0.001: lower than respective maternal values.
*4) p < 0.05: lower than respective newborn value.
