during pregnancy and after labor in preeclamptic patients compared to healthy pregnant …

Background: Pre-eclampsia is a multi-systemic disease with its attendant increased
maternal and perinatal morbidities and mortality. It has been hypothesized that leptin …

prenatal and postnatal periods of women with normal pregnancies and pregnant women …

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

Leptin is a satiety hormone secreted from the adipose tissue and human placenta. We

preeclampsia and women who had an uncomplicated pregnancy. Methods Maternal and …

Leptin has been measured in the fetal circulation and plasma leptin may also originate from
a range of other fetal and placental tissues. The present study was designed to analyze …
