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 …

Objective: The aims of this study were to examine the relationships between adiponectin,
insulin, visfatin and weight at birth in healthy term infants. Design and methods …

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 …

We aim to compare Insulin like Growth Factor (IGF-1), leptin, and cortisol concentrations in
maternal and umbilical cord vein and to investigate the relationship between these values …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Context Small-for-gestational-age (SGA) is an indicator of poor fetal growth “programming”
an elevated risk of type 2 diabetes in adulthood. Little is known about early-life endocrine …

Purpose To ascertain the association between umbilical cord levels of adiponectin, leptin
and resistin, and birth weight (BW) and newborn weight change (NWC) in the first 96 h of …

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 …
