Abstract
Objective: Characterize changes in neonatal energy metabolism hormones in first postnatal week.
Study design: Concentrations of leptin, adiponectin, insulin, resistin, and ghrelin were measured in cord and infant blood collected in the first postnatal week in a prospective cohort of term and preterm infants. Change over time in each hormone was modeled using linear mixed effects regression.
Result: Among 106 infants, 65 (61%) were preterm and 44 (42%) were exposed to diabetes (DM) in pregnancy. DM group had higher leptin [between group difference β 2.5 (95%CI: 1.72-3.70)] and resistin [β 1.5 (95%CI:1.14, 1.92)] and lower ghrelin [β 0.49] [95%CI: (0.32-0.76)] versus non-DM group. Preterm infants had lower adiponectin [β 0.80 (95%CI: 0.67-0.96)] versus term group. Insulin varied by DM and prematurity (interaction-term p value < 0.05).
Conclusion: In this cohort, hormone concentrations varied by DM and prematurity. Early alterations in energy metabolism hormones may reflect changes in developmental programming which persist in the early postnatal period.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Perinatology provides members of the perinatal/neonatal healthcare team with original information pertinent to improving maternal/fetal and neonatal care. We publish peer-reviewed clinical research articles, state-of-the art reviews, comments, quality improvement reports, and letters to the editor. Articles published in the Journal of Perinatology embrace the full scope of the specialty, including clinical, professional, political, administrative and educational aspects. The Journal also explores legal and ethical issues, neonatal technology and product development.
The Journal’s audience includes all those that participate in perinatal/neonatal care, including, but not limited to neonatologists, perinatologists, perinatal epidemiologists, pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists, surgeons, neonatal and perinatal nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, social workers, dieticians, speech and hearing experts, other allied health professionals, as well as subspecialists who participate in patient care including radiologists, laboratory medicine and pathologists.
