Objective: We tested the hypothesis that the maternal leptin concentration would be
increased in preeclampsia, independent of maternal obesity. Study Design: Maternal and …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to detect the presence of leptin and its receptor in
ovine fetal tissues and to examine the relationship between circulating leptin concentrations …

Maternal leptin levels in serum and urine, their relations to maternal weight and body mass
index, were examined in 9 healthy pregnant women from the 12th week of gestation until …

Leptin has been measured in the fetal circulation and plasma leptin may also originate from
a range of other fetal and placental tissues. The present study was designed to analyze …

The gestational profiles of leptin in plasma, adipose tissue and placenta were investigated in
rats. Leptin in plasma and the adipose tissue of the maternal compartment increased as …

Aims: To investigate the relationship between fetal weight and leptin levels in maternal
serum, amniotic fluid and umbilical cord. Methods: Forty pregnant women presenting for …

Gender-based differences in serum leptin levels have been reported in umbilical cord blood,
and leptin has been detected in human amniotic fluid. In order to understand if leptin may be …

Objective To study the role of placental leptin in intrauterine cord leptin production and its
relationship with neonatal anthropometry. Methods Forty women and their babies (40) were …

Objectives TO determine maternal serum leptin concentrations throughout normal
pregnancy, as well as cord blood leptin concentration, and to correlate serum and cord …

Objective. Leptin is a highly hydrophilic protein that circulates in plasma as a 16-kDa protein.
It is produced in adipose tissue and also recently described to be synthesized by placental …
