acylated ghrelin, growth hormone and igf-1 levels in the cord blood of small for gestational age newborns
نویسندگان
چکیده
conclusions igf-1 has the most significant effect on intrauterine growth. acylated ghrelin is detectable in cord blood and correlated with birth weight, suggesting a role in intrauterine development, but its level is not affected by intrauterine growth retardation. results no significant differences were observed in ghrelin and gh concentrations between sga and aga infants. however, igf-1 levels were significantly lower in sga infants. cord blood ghrelin was negatively correlated with the infants’ birth weight (r = -0.33, p = 0.013); on the other hand, igf-1 level was positively correlated with birth weight (r = 0.43, p = 0.002). methods cord blood sample was obtained from 31 sga and 25 appropriate for gestational age (aga) infants. acylated ghrelin, gh, and igf-1 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. background ghrelin is a pleiotropic hormone that regulates feeding and energy balance and stimulates growth hormone release. ghrelin also exerts developmental and organizational effects during prenatal life. objectives the aim of this study was to determine ghrelin levels in cord blood of small for gestational age (sga) infants and its association with gh (growth hormone) and igf-1 levels (insulin-like growth factor-1).

Evaluation of cord blood irisin levels in term newborns with small gestational age and appropriate gestational age
BACKGROUND Most recently, a novel myokine, named irisin, was identified in human that expressed by skeletal muscle after exercise. Irisin increases energy expenditure by turning white adipose tissue into brown adipose tissue. Thus improves carbohydrate homeostasis in humans. Irisin is considered as a potential biomarker for obesity and metabolic syndrome. In recent years, numerous studies have ...

متن کاملCord Blood C-peptide, Insulin, HbA1c, and Lipids Levels in Small- and Large-for-Gestational-Age Newborns
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 hemoglobin (HbA1c), and lipids levels may be altered in SGA and LGA newborns; however, the results are conflicting. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of cord blood markers on SGA and LGA newborns. MATERIAL...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES The genesis of atherosclerotic lesions, a major cardiovascular risk factor starts in the early stage of life. If the premature development of cardiovascular risk factors can be anticipated during childhood, cardiovascular events can be prevented effectively by taking appropriate measures. This study was carried out to assess the role of in utero malnutrition in cardiovas...

Cord IgM values were determined in small-for-gestational-age infants born at Hammersmith Hospital during a 5 1/2-year period. 121 (12.5%) infants had levels more than 0.2 g/l; in 92 these were between 0.21 and 0.3 g/l. In only 18 (14.8%) was a level of 0.4 g/l exceeded, and 5 proved cases of intrauterine infection--rubella (2), syphilis (2), and toxoplasmosis (1)--were in this group. The factor...
