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 …

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 …

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 …

BACKGROUND: Leptin is secreted from adipose tissue and plays an important role in
obesity. Recent studies have shown that the relationship between leptin and body fat mass …

Leptin is a 16-kD protein encoded by the ob/ob (obesity) gene. In rodents it plays a role in
obesity, diabetes, fertility, and neuroendocrine function. In humans serum concentrations of …

Background: To determine the association of cord blood and maternal leptin levels with
neonatal birth weight in preterm deliveries, intrauterine growth retarded neonates, and term …

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 …

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to compare umbilical cord plasma leptin
between infants of mothers who experienced preeclampsia and infants of control subjects …

OBJECTIVE Leptin is a 16-kD protein encoded by the ob/ob gene and produced mainly by
adipocytes. Leptin signals the amount of fat stored in the body to the brain and affects food …

OBJECTIVE Leptin, a hormone that signals the amount of energy stores to the brain, has
recently been shown to play a role in the regulation of several hypothalamic pituitary axes …
