Background: Gestational weight gain is an impressive factor in the fetal outcome.
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is one of the most important problems during fetal …

Leptin, the ob gene product, plays an important role in the regulation of body fat mass and
weight. In previous studies, it was demonstrated that leptin is detectable in human fetal cord …

OBJECTIVE To ascertain whether fetal growth restriction is associated with alterations of
leptin concentrations in umbilical cord blood and maternal serum. METHODS Maternal …

BACKGROUND: Leptin is secreted from adipose tissue and plays an important role in
obesity. Recent studies have shown that the relationship between leptin and body fat mass …

Objective This study aims to compare serum leptin level in preterm and full-term newborns in
relation to clinical findings. Background Leptin is a hormone made by fat cells that regulates …

To investigate the influence of maternal leptin and glucose on umbilical cord leptin levels
and anthropometric measures in Saudi newborn. Maternal blood samples (10ml) were …

Aims: To investigate the relationship between fetal weight and leptin levels in maternal
serum, amniotic fluid and umbilical cord. Methods: Forty pregnant women presenting for …

Background: To determine the association of cord blood and maternal leptin levels with
neonatal birth weight in preterm deliveries, intrauterine growth retarded neonates, and term …

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The discovery of a role for leptin in controlling fetal and
neonatal growth suggests a fetal origin of some adult chronic diseases and has stimulated …

Introduction: Leptin is a polypeptide hormone, and in pregnancy, it is secreted by the
placenta and maternal and fetal adipose tissues. Normal leptin production is a factor …
