Abstract

Serum adiponectin levels were investigated in 28 small-for-gestational-age (SGA) and 34 appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) term neonates to examine how fetal growth correlates with adiponectin levels. A blood sample for determination of adiponectin was obtained during the first 24 h of life. The levels of serum adiponectin were significantly higher in all newborn infants than in healthy children (28.7 +/- 17.0 versus 9.3 +/- 6.1 microg/mL; p < 0.01). There was a significant difference in adiponectin levels between SGA and AGA infants (23.2 +/- 14.8 versus 33.2 +/- 17.5 microg/mL; p=0.02). For all of the newborn groups, serum adiponectin levels correlated positively with birth weight (r=0.27, p <0.05) and head circumference (r=0.30, p <0.05). There was no relationship between serum adiponectin levels and gestational age, birth length, blood glucose levels, or blood sampling time after birth. There was no gender difference in adiponectin levels in the entire newborn group (30.0 +/- 19.7 versus 28.0 +/- 15.5 microg/mL, in male and female infants). Our results suggest that hyperadiponectinemia and a positive relationship between the serum levels of adiponectin and birth weight in newborns cannot be explained by the low percentag...Continue Reading

Biomarkers for Type 2 Diabetes

Biomarkers can help understand chronic diseases and assist in risk prediction for prevention and early detection of diseases. Here is the latest research on biomarkers in type 2 diabetes, a disease in which the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin.
