Although a role for leptin in fetal growth has been suggested recently, the mechanism by which leptin may be related to fetal growth is not known; but leptin may interact with the IGF system in utero as it does in the extrauterine life. In the context of a hospital-based case control study, we collected anthropometric and demographic data and measured serum leptin, IGF-I, IGF-II, insulin, cortisol, and IGF binding protein 3 concentrations in 142 cord blood samples from full-term deliveries. Cord leptin, IGF-I, and insulin levels correlated positively with birth weight (r = 0.46, r = 0.41, and r = 0.21, respectively, P < 0.01) by univariate analysis and were significantly higher in large-for-gestational-age (LGA) infants, compared with appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) infants. Cord leptin concentrations correlated with insulin levels (r = 0.36, P<0.01) but not with IGF-I levels (r = 0.20). Multiple linear and logistic regression analysis demonstrated an independent positive relationship of both leptin and IGF-I with birth weight and AGA/LGA status. The positive association of leptin levels with birth weight and AGA/LGA status cannot be attributed to IGF-I. This suggests the existence of alternative mechanisms underlying leptin's associations with fetal growth that should be further explored | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/1940 | ISSN: | 0021972X | DOI: | 10.1210/jc.86.2.935 | Rights: | © Oxford University Press | Type: | Article | Affiliation: | Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center | Affiliation: | Harvard University | Publication Type: | Peer Reviewed |
