Adipokines MP, n= 27 UCP, n = 23
ng/mL ng/mL
Leptin 22.62 ± 4.15 8.08 ± 1.10 *
Adiponectin 13,456.27 ± 824.93 29,938.34 ± 3101.71 *
L/A ratio 1.85 × 10−3 ± 3.82 × 10−4 3.31 × 10−4 ± 5.95 × 10−5 *

Data shown are expressed as mean ± S.E.M. Mann–Whitney U test was used to determine significant differences between plasma samples. * p < 0.05. MP, maternal plasma; UCP, umbilical cord plasma. L/A ratio, Leptin/Adiponectin ratio.
