Plasma Leptin Levels of Large for Gestational Age and Small for Gestational Age Infants

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1999
The hormone leptin produced in the adipose tissue is involved in the regulation of body weight. This study investigates whether plasma leptin levels are related to an infant's birthweight, and whether the levels change with feeding. We measured plasma leptin levels from infants who were large for gestational age (n= 21), small for gestational age (n ...

Small for gestational age: a new insight?

Medical Hypotheses, 1999
Acidosis reduces the ability of nitric oxide synthase to generate nitric oxide (NO) from L-arginine (L-arg), even if dietary intake or circulating plasma levels of L-arg are normal. During systemic acidemia, therefore, vascular perfusion in one or more organs may be compromised. Arginine is also a powerful anabolic amino acid.

Born small for gestational age: consequences for growth

Acta Paediatrica, 1996
A large number of studies have documented a strong correlation between size at birth and subsequent height, although the reported incidence of catch‐up growth and consequently the impact on final height has varied with time and between countries. These variations may be real, but could also be related to a number of methodological problems.

To evaluate whether being born small for gestational age (SGA) was associated with an increased frequency of preschool behavioral problems.Follow-up study at 5 years of age.A population based cohort of 318 term infants who were SGA, defined as having a birthweight less than the 15th percentile for gestational age, and without major handicap such as ...

The placental pathology of small-for-gestational age infants

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1975
There is a lack of placental studies of newborn infants who are small for gestational age (SGA). In a gross and light micorscopy evaluation of 63 referred placentas associated with singleton SGA infants, abnormalities were found in 58. In many instances these were considered of causal significance. Abnormalities included ischemic lesions (43 per cent),

Small for Gestational Age Neonate

1991
Until 1961 all neonates with birth weights of 2500 g or less were considered to have been born prematurely. Only after this time did it become recognized that birth weight could be discordant with gestational age, and neonates were classified as appropriate (AGA), small (SGA), or large for gestational age (LGA).1 This chapter reviews some of the ...
