The Relationship between Maternal Plasma Leptin and Adiponectin Concentrations and Newborn Adiposity

The Relationship between Maternal Plasma Leptin and Adiponectin Concentrations and Newborn Adiposity

Increased maternal blood concentrations of leptin and decreased adiponectin levels, which are common disturbances in obesity, may be involved in offspring adiposity by programming fetal adipose tissue development. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between maternal leptin and adipo...
