Zusammenfassung
Aims: Adiponectin (APN) may play a role in adapting energy metabolism at the materno-fetal unit. The interactions of APN serum concentration in umbilical cord blood and maternal blood in relation to effects on the placental APN expression as well as in addiction to clinical data have not been assessed so far. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between placental APN mRNA expression, maternal serum APN concentration and umbilical cord serum APN concentration in full-term healthy newborns. Methods: Serum APN levels were compared in 46 samples (23 from healthy newborns; gestational age 37.0 to…
