Resistin in Cord Blood of Small for Gestation Age and Appropriate for Gestation Age Term Neonates

摘要

ObjectivePlacental hormones such as resistin, adiponectin, ghrelin and leptin are known to have considerable role in fetal growth and there are some articles published in this area recently. Nevertheless there is a shortage of data showing association between resistin level and fetal growth; that was why we decided to conduct a study to evaluate this association.
