What is Umbilical Cord and Fifth-day Serum Vaspin Concentrations in Small-, Appropriate-, and Large-for-gestational Age Neonates about?
Background: Vaspin is a visceral adipose tissue-derived serine protease inhibitor that has an insulin-sensitizing effect. It is correlated with insulin resistance and glucose metabolism, and it improves glucose tolerance. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine and compare serum vaspin and insulin concentrations in small-forgestational age (SGA), appropriate-for-gestational age (AGA), and large-for-gestational age (LGA) infants at birth and fi fth postnatal day. Patients and methods: Eighty-two neonates were divided into three groups: SGA (n = 22), AGA (n = 30), and LGA (n = 30). Mothers ' age, gestational week, mode of delivery, and maternal diseases, such as diabetes, pre-eclampsia, and eclampsia were recorded. Blood for vaspin, insulin, and glucose was collected from the cord at birth and from a peripheral vein on the fi fth postnatal day. Results: At birth, there were no statistically signifi cant difference in serum insulin concentrations among the three groups, whereas cord serum vaspin concentrations were signifi cantly higher in the SGA group ( χ 2 = 8.158, p < 0.05). Serum glucose and vaspin levels on the fi fth postnatal day had no signifi cant difference among three
