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 TO determine whether there is a difference in maternal leptin concentration and
cord blood concentration, consistent with the hypothesis of a noncommunicating, two …

Objectives TO determine maternal serum leptin concentrations throughout normal
pregnancy, as well as cord blood leptin concentration, and to correlate serum and cord …

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: To test the hypothesis that maternal and cord serum leptin concentrations
correlate with birth weight of infants. Methods: Pregnant women (n= 135) of low …

Objective To determine 1. the relationship between maternal serum leptin concentrations
and maternal anthropometry and 2. the relationship between cord serum leptin …

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 …

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

Objective To test the hypothesis that the circulating levels of leptin in the maternal and cord
serum correlate with the birthweight of the newborns and with the weight of the placenta …
