Aortic Intima-Media Thickness, Serum IGF-I, IGFBP-3, and Leptin Levels in Intrauterine Growth-Restricted Newborns of Healthy Mothers
Abstract
Neonates with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) are associated with reduced concentrations of IGF-I that might contribute to arterial wall thickening. Direct atherogenic effects of leptin have been described. We aimed to investigate the relationship among abdominal aortic intima-media thickness (aIMT), serum IGF-I, IGF binding protein-3, and leptin levels in neonates with IUGR. Abdominal aIMT was measured in 40 term neonates with IUGR and …
