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 …

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 …

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 …

Objective: Leptin is a hormone which regulates adipose tissue mass of the body. Substantial
increase of leptin during pregnancy and detection of leptin and leptin receptor in placenta …

Objective To evaluate the leptin level in healthy pregnant mothers at term and in their
newborns and its relationship to their body mass index (BMI) and gender of the newborn …

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 …

Introduction Studies have demonstrated leptin involvement in the physiology and
pathophysiology of pregnancy and suggest that leptin may be a prognostic marker for some …

Objective This study aims to compare serum leptin level in preterm and full-term newborns in
relation to clinical findings. Background Leptin is a hormone made by fat cells that regulates …

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