Leptin is a satiety hormone secreted from the adipose tissue and human placenta. We
previously demonstrated that severe preeclampsia up-regulated leptin mRNA expression in …

Leptin is secreted from the edipose tissue and has an important role in the regulation of
energy metabolism. This study aimed to compare serum leptin levels of preterm and full-term …

During fetal life, placental tissue represents an additional source of leptin for the mother and
conceptus. It has been suggested that feto-placental production of leptin may be involved in …

Low birth weight (LBW) is a health concern in developing countries. Leptin and insulin-like
growth factor-I (IGF-I) are factors that influence LBW. A case-control study was conducted at …

OBJECTIVE To ascertain whether fetal growth restriction is associated with alterations of
leptin concentrations in umbilical cord blood and maternal serum. METHODS Maternal …

Background. Leptin, the protein product of the ob gene, is produced by the adipocyte and
seems to function as a link between adiposity, satiety, and activity. Leptin has also been …

The relationship between in utero fetal growth and fetal leptin concentrations was
investigated between 19 and 41 wk in 40 normal (appropriate for gestational age, AGA) …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between serum leptin levels and metabolic
syndrome, fasting insulin level and anthropometric index in obese pre-pubertal children …

Obesity in children is accompanied by increased circulating leptin concentrations. Girls have
higher leptin concentrations than boys. The aim of our study was to compare serum leptin …

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether low birthweight is associated with higher plasma leptin
concentrations in adult life and whether leptin contributes to the metabolic alterations in …
