Serum levels of visfatin and vaspin in healthy and complicated pregnancies and their association with anthropometric measures of their offspring.

Background: Research into the mechanisms of growth control during birth and postnatal life has shown that adipose tissue regulates many physiological functions in the body by secreting adipokines. The aims of this study were to investigate the serum levels of visfatin and vaspin in healthy and unhealthy pregnant women and its relationship with their newborns' anthropometric measurements.

Materials And Methods: A total of 82 pregnant women were included in this study with their respective newborn, healthy pregnant women (n = 30), with obesity (n = 26) and with gestational diabetes (GD) (n = 26).
