Objective To evaluate the role of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in fetal growth and
placental growth. Methods Cord blood IGF-I was determined by radioimmunoassay (RIA) …

Adiponectin and leptin are involved in appetite control and body weight regulation. We
aimed to evaluate the relationship between breast milk adipokine levels and short-term …

Background: Serum leptin and adiponectin levels are strongly associated with lipid
metabolism in adults. These adipocytokines play a role in intrauterine and postnatal growth …

Objective: To determine the relationships among serum leptin, insulin-like growth factor-I,
and insulin levels in large for gestational age (LGA) infants. Methods: Serum samples were …

Objective: It remains uncertain whether leptin and adiponectin levels are correlated in
maternal vs. fetal circulations. Little is known about whether leptin and adiponectin affect …

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between nutrition, gestational
age, and birth weight, and serum insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels in newborns …

Low birth weight was associated with cardiometabolic diseases in adult age. Insulin-like
growth factor-1 (IGF-1) has a crucial role in fetal growth and also associates with …

Premature infants represent one of the groups with increased risk for metabolic syndrome.
Our study is the first one to evaluate irisin and visfatin levels, associated with the metabolic …

Intrauterine growth retardation/restriction (IUGR) is associated with fetal malnutrition. It has
consequences for later life including increased incidence of obesity, diabetes mellitus …

Context: Adiponectin (APN) concentration in umbilical cord serum is higher than that in adult
serum. Except for the positive association between birth weight and cord APN concentration …
