Leptin Levels of the Perinatal Period Shape Offspring’s Weight Trajectories through the First Year of Age

Background: Leptin is a hormone regulating lifetime energy homeostasis and metabolism and its concentration is important starting from prenatal life. We aimed to investigate the association of perinatal leptin concentrations with growth trajectories during the first year of life. Methods: Prospectiv...
