BACKGROUND AND AIM: Leptin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) have been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between serum leptin, IGF-1 and intima-media thickness (IMT) and functions of common carotid artery (CCA) in children and adolescent patients with type 1 diabetes. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Serum leptin and IGF-1 levels were measured in 45 diabetic patients (23 girls and 22 boys). Age, diabetes duration as well as major cardiovascular risk factors, including anthropometric and metabolic parameters, were matched between girls and boys. The relation of serum leptin and IGF-1 levels to CCA structure and functions were measured by ultrasonography as IMT, cross-sectional compliance (CSC), cross-sectional distensibility (CSD), diastolic wall stress (DWS) and incremental elastic modulus (IEM). RESULTS: Serum leptin levels of diabetic girls were higher than those in the boys (21.8 +/- 14.5 microg/l vs 8.9 +/- 10.6 micro/l, p = 0.002). However, the difference for serum IGF-I levels was not significant between diabetic girls and boys (240.7 +/- 96.8 ng/ml vs 234.7 +/- 93.2 ng/ml; p > 0.05). In all subjects, leptin levels were correlated with CSC (p = 0.04), CSD (p = 0.04) and IEM (p = 0.01), and IGF-1 levels were only correlated with CSC (p = 0.01). Leptin did not show any correlation with ultrasonographic measurements in both girls and boys separately. IGF-1 was correlated with CSC (p = 0.001), CSD (p = 0.002) and IEM (p < 0.001) in boys but not in girls. In a multivariate regression model, IGF-1 emerged as independent correlates for mean CSD and IEM in boys but not in girls. CONCLUSION: Serum leptin and IGF-1 levels in children and adolescent patients with type 1 diabetes are associated with functions of common carotid artery, and the association of IGF-1 levels is influenced by sex. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: The amount of adipose tissue influences pubertal development and fertility in girls. A candidate for mediating this is the hormone leptin, derived from adipocytes. This work was carried out to determine whether the leptin concentration in serum is regulated during pubertal development. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Serum concentrations of leptin were determined by radioimmunoassay in a sample of 252 healthy children representing all pubertal stages. RESULTS: Serum leptin concentrations correlated directly with age (r = 0.53), body mass index (BMI) (r = 0.71), and weight for height SD score (r = 0.44) in girls and with BMI (r = 0.33) and weight for height SD score in boys (r = 0.36). Leptin concentrations increased with pubertal development in girls, resulting in significantly higher concentrations at pubertal stages 4 and 5 than at the prepubertal stage, whereas there was no change in the boys. CONCLUSIONS: Serum leptin concentrations increased during pubertal development in the girls, but remained constant in the boys. Whether the increase in serum leptin concentrations in girls is of importance for, or a consequence of, pubertal development is still to be determined. 相似文献

Diurnal leptin rhythms in children treated with prednisolone once daily in the morning or in the evening 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Serum leptin levels exhibit a marked diurnal variation in children. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the timing of administration of exogenous glucocorticoids, which have been found to increase serum leptin, affects the diurnal rhythm. Four girls and four boys aged 10.6 to 15.8 (mean 13.2) years with asthma were studied. The design was an open 2-period cross-over trial with a 1-day run in, two 4-day periods of prednisolone 5 mg in the morning or in the evening, with a 3-week washout in between treatment periods. During run in and on the last day of the prednisolone periods a fasting blood sample was drawn at 08.00 h, and thereafter samples were obtained every 2 h throughout the day until 08.00 h the next morning. Serum leptin was measured by a specific radioimmunoassay. During all periods, leptin levels were low during the day with a nadir at 10.00 h (run-in [mean +/- SEM]: 3.9+/-1.28; morning prednisolone: 5.2+/-1.58; evening prednisolone: 5.7+/-2.02 microg/l). Increases in leptin levels were detected from 20.00 h with zeniths at 24.00 h (run in: 7.2+/-1.86; evening prednisolone: 9.2+/-2.36 microg/l) and 02.00 h (morning prednisolone: 9.4+/-1.78 microg/l) (F = 115.5; p <0.01). As compared to run in, leptin levels were increased at all time points during prednisolone treatment in the morning (F = 16.0, p = 0.01) and in the evening (F = 12.6, p = 0.01). No statistically significant differences were found in leptin levels during prednisolone in the morning or in the evening (F = 0.44, p = 0.53). Therefore, the timing of administration of exogenous glucocorticoids does not affect diurnal leptin rhythms in children. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Girls have higher leptin concentrations than boys at all stages of biological development and this is also seen in the state of obesity. Little is known about whether gender and biological development of obese children influence changes in leptin associated with a short-term weight reduction program. OBJECTIVE: To study whether leptin concentration, body composition and insulin levels in obese children were influenced by a 3-week intervention program including diet and sports. STUDY DESIGN: Sixty-two obese children (32 boys and 30 girls) were examined before and after the intervention program. Body composition was measured by bioelectrical impedance and BMI-SDS was calculated. Serum leptin and serum insulin were determined by RIA. RESULTS: Girls had higher leptin levels than boys, before and after the weight reduction program. Body mass, fat mass (FM), leptin and insulin were decreased after the intervention in both sexes. We found a greater change in serum leptin in girls but the change in FM was of greater magnitude in boys. However, percentage changes in leptin were not significantly different between the sexes. Before the intervention, leptin concentrations were correlated with %FM, FM and moderately with BMI-SDS in all children. Only in pubertal boys did correlation of leptin with %FM increase after the intervention (from r=0.57 to r=0.75, p<0.01). Changes in leptin were found to be associated with initial leptin values in boys (r=0.95, p<0.01) and in girls (r=0.93, p<0.01), independent of Tanner stages. CONCLUSION: Serum leptin levels were positively correlated with adiposity in obese children and a diet and sports intervention program decreased serum leptin, insulin and body fat in all children. Changes in leptin were best described by the initial leptin concentration. The increase in correlation of leptin with %FM in obese pubertal boys after the intervention could have its underlying mechanism in an increased sensitivity to leptin and anabolic hormones. 相似文献

The mechanism of the pubertal delay seen in some adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus is not entirely clear. Since leptin has been implicated as a neuroendocrine modulator of puberty, we measured serum leptin levels longitudinally in 24 post-'honeymoon' patients with diabetes mellitus (M/F = 15/9) with a mean (+/- SD) age of 10.5 +/- 0.9 years and 26 controls (M/F = 15/11) with a mean age of 10.0 +/- 1.1 years. Physical examinations; serum leptin, IGF-I, IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-1 levels; and bone age X-rays were performed annually for up to 48 months. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was measured 2-4 times a year in patients with diabetes mellitus. Serum leptin levels strongly correlated with the body mass index z-scores (BMI-Z) in both controls (r = 0.666, p <0.00001) and diabetic patients (r = 0.577, p <0.00001). Girls had increased serum leptin levels for a given BMI compared to boys (p <0.005). There were no significant differences in serum leptin levels of patients with diabetes mellitus compared to controls, nor were differences seen when the groups were stratified by age, Tanner stage, or gender. There were also no significant correlations between serum leptin levels and degree of metabolic control (i.e. HbA1c) or insulin dose standardized for body weight. Although there was no significant diabetes-related or metabolic control-related delay in bone age z-score or pubertal development, there was a significant negative correlation between HbA1c and growth velocity z-score, indicating that children with poor diabetes control had modest but significant slowing of growth. It is concluded that neither pubertal development nor serum leptin levels are significantly altered in adolescents with diabetes mellitus managed with standard therapy. The potential role of leptin in initiation of pubertal development is not easily demonstrable in observational studies. 相似文献

Leptin can be regarded as a marker of the nutritional status of the body. This study was performed to determine the correlation of leptin levels with insulin (I) and androgens in girls with premature pubarche (PP) and prepubertal controls (C) with (OB) or without (nOB) obesity. We studied 25 girls with PP and 14 C; girls were dived into two subgroups according to body mass index (BMI): OB (18 PP and 8 C) and nOB (7 PP and 6 C). Obesity was defined as BMI >95th percentile for chronological age. Serum levels of leptin, I, glucose (G), DHEAS, testosterone, androstenedione (A), cortisol, SHBG, IGFBP-1 and lipid profile were measured. The fasting G to I ratio (FGIR) was calculated and FGIR <7 was considered as suggestive of I resistance (IR). Data were analyzed comparing PP vs C and OB vs nOB. Serum DHEAS (0.60 +/- 0.45 vs 0.18 +/- 0.22 microg/ml) and A (895.5 +/- 420.4 vs 457.0 +/- 352.1 pg/ml) levels were significantly higher in PP than C. Other hormonal and metabolic parameters were similar. Serum leptin (30.8 +/- 18.3 vs 8.1 +/- 5.9 ng/ml), A (841.8 +/- 471.1 vs 522.5 +/- 317.2 pg/ml), DHEAS (0.53 +/- 0.44 vs 0.31 +/- 0.39 microg/ml), G (88.4 +/- 8.8 vs 80.2 +/- 8.1 mg/dl), I (13.5 +/- 7.7 vs 5.1 +/- 3.7 microU/ml) and total cholesterol (TC) (180.5 +/- 30.9 vs 161.8 +/- 29.5 mg/dl) levels were greater in the OB than in the nOB group. IR was observed in 10 girls with OB and in one with nOB. Leptin was correlated with BMI (r = 0.83), SHBG (r = -0.44), IGFBP-1 (r = -0.47), I (r = 0.37), A (r = 0.48) and TC (r = 0.36), but in multiple regression analysis only with BMI (r2 = 0.72, p < 0.001). Girls with PP and prepubertal OB girls showed elevated leptin levels independent of I and androgen levels. Girls with OB had a greater degree of hyperandrogenism and IR. As obesity, IR and hyperandrogenism are common findings in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which is more prevalent in young women with a history of PP, a role of leptin in PCOS can be suggested. In addition, girls with PP could be considered a population at risk for plurimetabolic syndrome. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: In adults and obese children, serum leptin concentrations are closely related to body fat. AIM: To investigate whether such a relationship between leptin concentrations and body fat is also evident in children with a relatively normal body composition. METHODS: The study was a cross-sectional population study in 170 Caucasian children (91 boys and 79 girls), with a mean age of 9.9+/-0.6 y (range 8.5-10.9 y) and a mean BMI of 17.4+/-2.6 (range 12.8-28.1). Serum leptin was measured and compared to total body fat as determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. RESULTS: In the whole population, serum leptin concentrations were highly correlated with total body fat (r=0.83, p<0.001). A stepwise forward multi-regression analysis revealed that the inclusion of other anthropometrical data did not add any significance to the model. Leptin concentrations were significantly higher in girls (5.2 ng/ml) than in boys (3.2 mg/ml; p=0.003). Gender differences still prevailed (p=0.007) after adjusting for number of kilograms of fat tissue. CONCLUSION: This study shows that, already at the young age of 9-11 y, an adult-like pattern of regulation of leptin exists. This indicates similar risk factor dependency of leptin across all age groups. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate circulating leptin levels in biliary atresia (BA) patients and the association of leptin with bone mineral density (BMD) and the severity of BA. METHODS: We have examined 50 patients with BA and 15 matched healthy controls. Serum leptin, osteocalcin and C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) levels were measured by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). BMD of the lumbar spine was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. RESULTS: Serum leptin levels of BA patients were lower than those of healthy controls (2.7 +/- 0.3 vs. 7.1 +/- 1.7 ng/mL, p = 0.0001). Among the BA patients, serum leptin levels were significantly lower in patients with jaundice than patients without jaundice (1.7 +/- 0.2 vs. 3.4 +/- 0.4 ng/mL, p = 0.001). BMD of BA patients was correlated (p < 0.001) with leptin levels, age and BMI (r = 0.55, r = 0.75 and r = 0.58, respectively). The serum CTX levels were significantly higher in jaundice patients compared with jaundice-free patients and the healthy controls (0.6 +/- 0.2 vs. 0.2 +/- 0.1 ng/mL, p = 0.01), whereas the serum osteocalcin levels in BA patients were not different from those in the controls. CONCLUSION: Circulating leptin levels are correlated with BMD and the presence of jaundice in BA, suggesting that the leptin may play a physiological role in maintaining bone mass of BA patients with jaundice. 相似文献

Goiter prevalence and urinary iodine excretion levels were assessed in 605 schoolchildren (301 males and 304 females), aged 6-11 years, living in the Antalya region, a well known endemic goiter area in Turkey. Goiter prevalence was evaluated by clinical examination and ultrasound of the thyroid gland. Urinary iodine levels were expressed as microg/g creatinine. Goiter by inspection and palpation was found in 35% (n = 212) of all subjects, in 37.5% (n = 114) of girls and 32.5% (n = 98) of boys. Iodine deficiency of moderate degree was detected from the point of goiter prevalence. With regard to the upper limits of reference thyroid volumes reported by WHO and ICCIDD, goiter by ultrasonography was found in 34% (n = 206) of all subjects, in 36.8% (n = 112) of girls and 31% (n = 94) of boys. Median iodine/creatinine ratios of all subjects, and goitrous and non-goitrous subjects, were 64.1+/-20.1, 62.8+/-21.8 and 64.9+/-19.1 microg/g, respectively. Urinary iodine excretion levels revealed mild iodine deficiency in the region. No significant correlation was observed between urinary iodine excretion levels and thyroid volumes (r = 0.12, p>0.05). Iodine deficiency of mild to moderate degree in schoolchildren aged 6-11 years was detected in Antalya. It was concluded that urgent measures must be undertaken to eradicate iodine deficiency in the region. 相似文献

AIM: To assess 24-hour serum leptin levels in children. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Five girls and two boys aged 10.4-13.6 (mean 12.2) years with pubertal stages I to III were studied. All children were healthy. A fasting blood sample was drawn at 08.00 hours, and thereafter samples were obtained every 2 hours throughout 24 hours until 08.00 hours the next morning. Serum leptin was measured by a specific radioimmunoassay. RESULTS: A statistically significant circadian variation was found in mean leptin profile expressed as a percentage of overall day mean (F-ratio =10.4; P<0.001) with trough and peak levels (+/- SEM) at 10.00 (6.55+/-1.52 mg/l) and 24.00 hours (10.99+/-2.34 mg/l), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: In normal children serum leptin levels exhibit a nocturnal increase and a decrease during the morning. The nocturnal rise may represent a time lagged stimulating effect of insulin. The diurnal rhythm needs to be considered when serum leptin is assessed in clinical studies. 相似文献

We studied whether leptin is an independent associate of blood pressure in obese children and adolescence. 102 obese children (48 girls, age: 11.6 +/- 2.22 yr; body mass index [BMI]: 27.45 +/- 4.4; blood pressure: 122.5 +/- 11.1/64.7 +/- 10.6 mm Hg and 54 boys, age: 11.5 +/- 2.4 yr; BMI: 27.6 +/- 4.4; blood pressure: 122.5 +/- 13.2/60.9 +/- 8.1 mm Hg [mean +/- SD]) were investigated. Serum leptin and insulin were measured by RIA; glucose was determined enzymatically. Fat mass (FM) was calculated by bioelectrical impedance. Leptin was higher in girls than in boys (p=0.018) but no significant gender differences were found with respect to indices of adiposity and systolic blood pressure (SBP). Children were divided into three groups, according to pubertal stage (Group 1: prepubertal, 32 boys/13 girls; Group 2: pubertal, 17 boys/25 girls; Group 3: late/postpubertal, 5 boys/10 girls). SBP and DBP correlated with body weight in the whole group (r=0.49, p<0.0001, and r=0.27, p=0.004). In Group 1, BMI showed the highest correlation to SBP; in Group 3 no indices of adiposity were related to SBP. In no case was leptin significantly associated with SBP after adjustment for adiposity. In Group 2, glucose was significantly associated with SBP after adjustment for body weight. In Group 3, however, no correlations were found between SBP, DBP and metabolic characteristics, perhaps due to small sample size. Stepwise multiple regression revealed that body weight and glucose contributed to the variation in SBP in the whole group (R2=0.31, p<0.0001). Insulin accounted for almost 8% of the variation in DBP (R2=0.08, p=0.0034). Body weight contributed significantly to SBP in boys (R2=0.39, p<0.0001) and girls (R2=0.24, p< 0.001). The results imply that body weight contributes independently to the variation in blood pressure. Glucose and insulin contribute to mean blood pressure to some extent, but our data do not support the assumption that leptin per se serves as an independent predictor of blood pressure in obese children and adolescents. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Hyperhomocysteinemia has been established as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The objective was to investigate total plasma homocysteine concentrations in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes and a control group. METHOD: Twenty-seven children with type 1 diabetes and 27 subjects of an age- and sex-matched control group were recruited. Fasting samples were collected for plasma total homocysteine, serum vitamin B12, folate, and creatinine. RESULTS: Fasting total homocysteine concentrations showed no difference between patients and controls (5.6 +/- 2.9 micromol/L vs 5.7 +/- 2.2 micromol/L; p greater than 0.05). The diabetic patients had significantly higher serum folate than the healthy controls (11.4 +/- 3.3 ng/mL vs 9.4 +/- 4.1 ng/mL; P = 0.02 and higher serum B12 than the control group (282.8 +/- 119 pg/mL vs 228.5 +/- 50.9 pg/mL; P = 0.03). Total plasma homocysteine concentration correlated with age (r = 0.44, P = 0.02), weight (r = 0.56, P = 0.002), body mass index (r = 0.57, P = 0.002), folate (r = -0.48, P = 0.01), and creatinine (r = 0.41, P = 0.03) in diabetic patients. In stepwise multivariate regression model for diabetics, the independent correlates for total plasma homocysteine concentration was folate (P = 0.002). CONCLUSION: We concluded that fasting plasma total homocysteine concentrations were within normal limits in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes who were without any clinical evidence of microvascular and macrovascular complications. 相似文献

Interactions between GH and leptin have been extensively studied. However, results of
long-term GH therapy on serum leptin levels in GH-deficient children were not consistent.
Moreover, no such reports were available in Japanese children with this disease. We
studied 35 Japanese patients with GH deficiency (26 boys and 9 girls, mean age: 9.8 ± 6.2
yr old), of whom 6 patients with complete and 29 with incomplete GH deficiency were
identified by GH provocation test. Serum leptin levels, percent of ideal body weight
(%IBW) and percent fat (%fat) were determined at 0, 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, and 36 mo after
beginning GH therapy. Baseline levels of %fat and leptin were significantly higher in
girls than boys (P<0.05), though serum leptin did not change throughout the study
period in either group. Further, %IBW did not change significantly, whereas %fat exhibited
significant changes after 6 mo in boys and remained virtually constant thereafter for up
to 3 yr. In summary, serum leptin levels did not change in GH-deficient boys and girls
during the 3-yr period after the start of GH replacement therapy, despite a decrease in
%fat after 6 mo of therapy in the boys. Thus, it is conceivable that long-term GH
replacement therapy can be employed without an effect on normal leptin secretion. 相似文献

Leptin, the obese gene product, is a 16-kDa peptide hormone secreted by adiposities. Systemic administration of exogenous glucocorticoids has been found to increase circulating leptin levels. In this study, we aimed to assess serum leptin in children with atopic dermatitis (AD)-treated with local steroids. Twenty children with AD were included during the 2001-2002 time period. The study was conducted prospectively. Atopy was defined as the presence of at least one aeroallergen-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody. Serum leptin was determined using a commercially available radioimmunoassay kit with 3.4-8.3% intra-assay and 3.0-6.2% interassay coefficients of variation, and 0.5 ng/ml sensitivity. Fourteen boys and six girls with AD, the mean age of the patients was 3.1 +/- 2.2. Forty-three percentage of the family histories for atopy were positive, 60% of the cases passive smoking histories were positive. In seven patients the aeroallergen-specific IgE were positive. All 20 patients treated clobetasone 17-butirate (0.05%). There was no significant difference in serum leptin between patients (mean +/- s.d.: 4.6 +/- 3.8), and controls (mean +/- s.d.: 6.2 +/- 3.6) (p > 0.05). Local steroid does not influence circulating leptin levels, suggesting that regulation of body weight is unaffected. 相似文献

Testosterone (T)-substitution therapy is widely used in adult patients with Klinefelter syndrome (KS) to prevent symptoms and sequels of androgen deficiency, but it is currently unknown if adolescent boys with KS benefit from early T therapy. To evaluate the optimal age to start T substitution, we searched for signs of androgen deficiency in pubertal boys with KS. 14 nonmosaic 47,XXY boys, aged 10-13.9 y, were followed up for 4-37 mo with staging of puberty and frequent reproductive hormone measurements. Furthermore, indices reflecting androgen action (serum SHBG, leptin, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels) were studied. Both onset and progression of puberty according to Tanner stages were normal in boys with KS. Consistently, serum T concentrations increased as expected and remained normal throughout follow-up. Changes in the indices of androgen action (decreases in serum SHBG and leptin, and increase in serum PSA concentrations) occurred normally, except that average leptin levels were higher in the boys with KS (KS boys 11.8 +/- 7.0 microg/L; controls 7.6 +/- 4.7 microg/L; p = 0.033). Despite normal T concentrations, the KS boys displayed from the age of 13 y elevated serum FSH and LH levels, and exaggerated gonadotropin responses to gonadotropin-releasing hormone. These data do not demonstrate an unequivocal androgen deficiency in adolescent boys with KS that would necessitate androgen supplementation therapy during early puberty. 相似文献

ABSTRACT. Serum levels of cholesterol (C), triglycerides (TG), lipoprotein-C and apolipoproteins (apo) A-I, A-II and B were measured in 30 children with type I diabetes mellitus (16 boys, 14 girls, aged 11–14 years) and in 26 healthy controls (15 boys, 11 girls, aged 10–13 years). For 19 diabetics controls matched for age, sex and relative body weight were selected. The diabetic patients were considered to be in fair metabolic control according to HbA1 levels and glycosylated serum protein concentrations. Mean serum apo A-I, A-II and B, C, TG, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) did not differ significantly between diabetic and nondiabetic children. Very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C) was significantly higher in diabetic children than in controls. Serum C and LDL-C levels showed close univariate linear correlations with glycosylated serum protein (LDL-C: r =0.53, p <0.01, C: r =0.58, p <0.01) in diabetics. The ratio LDL/HDL-C was significantly correlated to HbA1 levels ( r =0.47, p <0.01). By canonical and multiple linear correlation analysis significant relations of a selected set of variables concerning the control and therapy of diabetes (serum glucose, HbA1 , glycosylated serum protein, insulin dose) with a set of lipoprotein variables (C, TG, VLDL-C, HDL-C, LDL-C, apo A-I, A-II, B) could be demonstrated. From these data we conclude that significant relations between atherogenic serum lipids and lipoproteins (C, LDL-C) and the degree of metabolic control exist in diabetic children, even in the absence of marked dyslipoproteinemia. The close relation of LDL-C and total C with glycosylated serum protein in the diabetics might be due to glycosylation of LDL . 相似文献
