Background: Fifteen percent of small for gestational age are small as a result of fetal growth
restriction, which could be due to maternal, placental or fetal factors. It is an important clinical …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the correlation of level of leptin in cord blood and duration of labor.
METHODS: Eighty-four pregnant women who had delivered during Jan. 2004-Jun. 2004. at …

We investigated serum leptin levels in 103 mother-newborn-pairs; Cord leptin was
significantly higher than mother's leptin (5.7±5.5 vs. 22.1±19.9 ng/ml; p< 0.001). Cord leptin …

To investigate the influence of maternal leptin and glucose on umbilical cord leptin levels
and anthropometric measures in Saudi newborn. Maternal blood samples (10ml) were …

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 …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between maternal and
cord leptin concentrations, maternal and neonatal outcomes, and measures of glycemic …

gestational diabetes mellitus Page 1 79 Vol. 53, No. 3, September 2008 Papers Abstract …

Leptin is an adipocyte-derived peptide hormone regulating energy balance in experimental
animals. Although the physiological function of leptin in humans is still unclear, its secretion …

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