A longitudinal study of serum NSILA-S during normal human pregnancy and the puerperium has demonstrated that levels rose progressively during pregnancy and returned to nonpregnant values about 48 h after delivery.

Cord arterial and venous levels were equivalent, but there was no significant correlation between these and matched maternal values.
