Objective Adipocytokines are markers of fetal metabolism, but their association with
childhood growth is unclear. This study examined associations of neonatal adipocytokines …

Background Cord blood adiponectin and leptin concentrations are associated with birth
weight and adiposity. Birth size and rate of infant weight gain are associated with future …

What is already known about this subject M exican–A merican children are at particularly
high risk of obesity. Features of the perinatal environment, including maternal nutrition …

Aim To assess whether small‐for‐gestational‐age (SGA)–an indicator of poor fetal growth,
may affect metabolic health biomarkers in infancy and explore the predictors. Methods This …

Context Leptin and adiponectin play important roles in systemic metabolic homeostasis,
beginning in utero. Limited data exist on the levels and trajectories of these 2 hormones at …

Background While adipokines can regulate satiety and energy metabolism, whether they are
associated with childhood growth is unclear. Objective To evaluate whether adipokine levels …

Objective This study aimed to examine associations of changes in leptin and adiponectin
concentrations from birth to age 12 years with adolescent adiposity and cardiometabolic risk …

Context Fetal overgrowth “programs” an elevated risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes in
adulthood. Plausibly, adipokines may be involved in programming metabolic health …

OBJECTIVE To investigate associations of maternal gestational weight gain and body
composition and their impact on offspring body composition and adipocytokine, glucose …

Background Adipokines can serve as a measure of adipose tissue activity. Although
birthweight correlates with neonatal adiposity, findings for cord blood levels of adipokines …
