Cord leptin is a biomarker of fetal growth and adiposity with a role in predicting weight gain
during the first months of life and childhood obesity. Our objective was to calculate gender …

Objective Leptin represents a potential modulator of developmental programming of
childhood obesity. We investigated the association of cord blood leptin with growth …

Introduction The fetus that fails to meet its ideal growth trajectory has increased risks of poor
health outcomes throughout life.“Gold standard” methods of anthropometric assessment …

Context Low cord blood leptin concentration is implicated as a risk factor for small for
gestational age (SGA) babies. However, the association of strength, consistency …

Objectives Low early-life leptin concentrations may promote faster weight gain in infancy.
We aimed to examine the associations between cord blood leptin concentrations and …

Background Cord blood (CB) leptin is positively associated with adiposity at birth, but the
association with child adiposity is unclear. Objectives We hypothesized that CB leptin is …

To assess cord blood leptin levels in preterm and small-for-gestational age neonates and
determine whether fetal leptin levels correlate with selected clinical parameters associated …

Lower cord blood leptin levels have been associated with lower and higher adiposity in
childhood and associations seem to differ according to the child's age, methods of adiposity …

The leptin to fat ratio early in life could contribute to fixing the set point of leptin feedback at
the hypothalamic level. Subjects from Asian and Caucasian ethnicities differ in body …

Background There is evidence that South Asian individuals have higher fat mass for a given
weight than Europeans. One study reported that the greater fatness for a given birthweight …
