Adipocytokines are hormonally active molecules that are believed to play a key role in the
regulation of crucial biological processes in the human body. Numerous experimental …

Overweight and obesity have become a dangerous disease requiring multiple interventions,
treatment and preventions. In women of reproductive age, obesity is one of the most …

Objective Herein, we measured the concentration of insulinlike growth factor I (IGF-I), IGF-II,
leptin, adiponectin, ghrelin, resistin, and visfatin in the umbilical cord blood of newborns …

Visfatin (PBEF/Nampt) is an adipocytokine that exerts pleiotropic effects within the human
body, particularly affecting its metabolism and immunity. Visfatin was originally identified as …

Background Small-and large-for-gestational-age (SGA, LGA) newborns are associated with
metabolic syndrome in their later life. Cord blood C-peptide, insulin, glycosylated …

Background Preeclampsia (PE) is a multifunctional and multisystem disorder. Several
factors favor the development of PE, including obesity. Cytokines are also expressed in the …

Adipose tissue is no longer considered as inert; the literature describes the role it plays in
the production of many substances, such as adiponectin, visfatin, ghrelin, S100B, apelin …

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of maternal anthropometry and
metabolic parameters on neonatal anthropometry. Materials and Methods: This …

Introduction It has been shown that some adipocytokines and their mutual relationship can
be indicators of fetal and neonatal growth. Physiological role of leptin and adiponectin in …

Aim: We hypothesized that circulating apelin concentrations in preterm babies might be
linked with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), similar to IGF-1 levels. Patients & methods: A …
