OBJECTIVES: Fetal growth process is governed by multiple factors. We investigated the
relation of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), leptin, and …

Background: To determine whether the following factors are related to birthweight or birth
height, we measured insulin‐like growth factor (IGF)‐I, insulin‐like growth factor binding …

Objective Herein, we measured the concentration of insulinlike growth factor I (IGF-I), IGF-II,
leptin, adiponectin, ghrelin, resistin, and visfatin in the umbilical cord blood of newborns …

This study was planned to investigate the relationship between birth weight and insulinlike
growth factor-I (IGF-I), IGF binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), and leptin levels in neonates with …

In humans, serum levels of leptin correlate with total body fat in both adults and children.
After collecting cord blood from 156 term neonates (82 males, 74 females; 132 AGA and 22 …

Background The IGF system is recognised to be important for fetal growth. We previously
described increased Insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-2 cord serum …

Objective. To determine the independent contributions to infant birth size of insulin-like
growth factor I (IGF-I) and leptin measured in umbilical cord plasma. Methods. Umbilical cord …

BACKGROUND: Low birthweight has been associated with an increased risk of obesity,
insulin resistance, and diabetes in adulthood. The aim of this study was to evaluate IGF-I …

Objective: Our purpose was to determine the correlation between birth weight and hormones
or growth factors believed to be involved in fetal growth: insulin, insulin-like growth factors I …

Insulinlike growth factors (IGFs) exert profound effects on somatic growth and cellular
proliferation of many tissues and play an essential role in bone metabolism. The aim of this …
