Evaluation of leptin in breast milk, lactating mothers and their infants

Background/Objectives: Leptin is present in human milk, but it is not clear what the relationship between breast milk (BM) leptin levels and maternal and infant serum leptin concentrations is. The objective of this study was to evaluate the leptin concentration in BM and to investigate its relations...

Zusammenfassung:	Background/Objectives: Leptin is present in human milk, but it is not clear what the relationship between breast milk (BM) leptin levels and maternal and infant serum leptin concentrations is. The objective of this study was to evaluate the leptin concentration in BM and to investigate its relationship with infants’ and mothers’ anthropometric parameters and with serum leptin concentration in breast-fed (BF) infants and lactating mothers. Subjects/Methods: We enrolled 36 adequate for gestational age healthy, exclusively BF, term infants aged
