Osteopontin (OPN) concentrations in plasma from umbilical cords, 3-mo-old infants, adults, and pregnant or postpregnant women, measured by ELISA. The number of samples analyzed for each group is indicated and standard errors are represented with vertical bars. *The OPN content in plasma from 3-mo-old infants was significantly higher than that from umbilical cords (P < 0.05). **The OPN content in plasma from umbilical cords and from 3-mo-old infants were both significantly higher than that from adults and pregnant or postpregnant women (P < 0.01).
