The effect of insulin, leptin, adiponectin, ghrelin levels in cord blood on growth in the first two years

Objective: The main hormones and adipokines that regulate growth, energy metabolism adipogenesis in the intrauterine period are insulin, leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin. Changes these may affect weight gain, obesity metabolic syndrome advanced ages. In this study, it was aimed to investigate relationship between adiponectin levels cord blood of term newborns growth first two years age. Methods: Term our hospital May 2019 October were included study. Insulin, glucose, leptin studied umbilical 80 newborns. 44 study monitored until age years. Results: with up investigated. A positive correlation found insulin level birth weight, head circumference, weights at 12th 24th months life. negative ghrelin 6th month There no significant anthropometric measurements Conclusion: While positively correlated life, they negatively blood. did not correlate significantly
