Retrospective analysis of 103 samples of amniotic fluid was performed. Twenty-four samples were obtained prior to midtrimester abortion, 31 were from patients who delivered spontaneously, 14 were from patients in whom labor was induced, and the remaining samples were obtained from patients who were delivered by cesarean section. In all normal pregnancies, there was a rising trend in corticosteroid levels in amniotic fluid as the gestation advanced. This was less marked in abnormal pregnancies. There is a suggestive fetal role in initiation of normal spontaneous labor, as reflected by a significant increase in amniotic fluid corticosteroid levels, in patients immediately prior to vaginal delivery as opposed to abdominal delivery. There was a significant correlation between the birthweight of babies born vaginally with the amniotic fluid corticosteroid levels, as compared to the weight of babies born by cesarean section.

The effects of different blood collection procedures, various storage temperatures and durations of storage on the levels of plasma cholinesterase and whole blood glutathione in turkeys were investigated. Collection of blood through vacutainers yielded satisfactory results. Whereas the plasma cholinesterase activity remained unchanged even after three weeks of storage at -17.8 degrees C., blood glutathione concentration was unaffected only when the samples were stored at -28.9 degrees C for the three weeks. The range of mean activity was from 4.64 to 4.71 DeltapH/hour x 10 for cholinesterase and from 44.85 to 47.91 mgm/100 ml for glutathione.
