Background: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a condition with heterogeneous
pathophysiology which characterized by fetal weight less than the tenth percentile for …

Background: Gestational weight gain is an impressive factor in the fetal outcome.
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is one of the most important problems during fetal …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate possible predictors of cord blood leptin level in pregnancies
complicated with fetal growth restriction, preeclampsia and in normal pregnancies. STUDY …

Introduction: Leptin is a polypeptide hormone, and in pregnancy, it is secreted by the
placenta and maternal and fetal adipose tissues. Normal leptin production is a factor …

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The discovery of a role for leptin in controlling fetal and
neonatal growth suggests a fetal origin of some adult chronic diseases and has stimulated …

Leptin synthesized by adipose tissue has significant association with birth weight, body
mass index and insulin-glucose ratio. Fetuses with growth restriction (FGR) have substantial …

The aim of the study was to investigate cord blood leptin concentrations and their
relationship to birth weight and gender in term pregnancies complicated by pre-eclampsia …

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine changes in maternal serum leptin level
during pregnancy and after labor in preeclamptic patients compared to healthy pregnant …
