Correlation of serum leptin levels with clinical and biochemical parameters in obese children

Serum leptin levels in obese Indian children relation to clinical and biochemical parameters.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate serum leptin levels in obese Indian children and its correlation to anthropometric and biochemical parameters. DESIGN Cohort study. SETTING Referral tertiary hospital. METHODOLOGY Leptin levels were measured in 36 children (26 boys, age 1.5 to 15 years) and 37 adults (21 men, age 25 to 69 years) with obesity and 29 normal weight controls (15 children and 14 adults). ...

Serum Leptin and Ghrelin Levels in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Correlation with Anthropometric,Metabolic, and Endocrine Parameters

Serum leptin and bone metabolism parameters in obese children

Aim: Complex correlations exist between leptin, obesity and bone formation. Leptin is thought to affect growth and bone formation as well as osteoblastic and osteoclastic activities. Additionally, leptin increases bone mineral content. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between serum leptin levels and osteoblastic and osteoclastic parameters and Bone Mineral Density (BMD) in ...

Correlation between serum leptin level and thyroid hormones in children with major beta-thalassemia

Background Beta-thalassemia is the most common hematology disease in human and leptin is one of the hormone that produce by adiposities cells. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum leptin level and thyroid hormones in children with major beta-thalassemia. Materials and Methods This descriptive-cross sectional study was performed on 90 children aged 6-16...

Serum resistin levels of obese and lean children and adolescents: biochemical analysis and clinical relevance.

OBJECTIVE It was hypothesized that resistin links obesity with diabetes, but this has not been studied in children and adolescents to date. PATIENTS We determined serum resistin levels of 135 obese (body mass index, 32.0 +/- 6.2 kg/m2; age, 12.6 +/- 3.4 yr) and 201 lean children (body mass index, 18.7 +/- 2.4 kg/m2; age, 12.5 +/- 2.5 yr) by a newly developed and extensively evaluated in-house...
