Objective The main hormones and adipokines that regulate growth, energy metabolism and
adipogenesis in the intrauterine period are insulin, leptin, ghrelin, and adiponectin. Changes …

Aim: Fetal malnutrition is a condition characterized clinically by the inability of subcutaneous
adipose tissue and muscle mass to reach the normal amount or by significant intrauterine …

Background: Premature/low-birth-weight infants are at significant risk of metabolic diseases
in adulthood, which may be related to the levels of fetal adipokine. Here, we investigated the …

Background: Ghrelin, leptin and insulin, generally considered as regulators of energy
homeostasis of the organism may be related to fetal and early postnatal growth. Numerous …

Background Premature/low-birth-weight infants are at significant risk of metabolic diseases
in adulthood, which may be related to the levels of fetal adipokine. Here, we investigated the …

Objective This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the association between leptin,
insulin and adiponectin levels and anthropometric measurements of term newborns of …

Birth denotes a sharp transition from constant placental nutrient delivery to independent
regulation of energy intake and expenditure. ADIPONECTIN, GHRELIN, insulin and leptin …

Aim To study cord blood concentrations of adiponectin and leptin in children born by normal
weight, overweight and obese mothers and to study these parameters in relation to a weight …

Objective To determine the influence of gestational age and fetal growth restriction on the
cord blood adipokine profile, IGF1, and ghrelin levels, and their relationship with glucose …

Background: Pregnancy and accelerated fetal growth always are related with major
metabolic changes and body fat redistribution and adiponectin is one of principle adipocyte …
