Changes in leptin concentration during the early postnatal period: adjustment to extrauterine life?

abstract：:Automated microanalytic chromogenic coagulation assays allow serial monitoring of critically ill newborn infants. In this study 84 premature infants [26 healthy prematures and 58 neonates with idiopathic respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS)] were studied daily during the first week of life, to investigate the possible...
