Leptin levels in delayed puberty

Objective & Hypothesis:We examined 17 boys (age: 14.35±1.32 years) with the diagnosis of delayed puberty and 20 age and sex matched control (age: 14.90±1.07 years) for their fasting leptin levels.

📊

Key Findings & Data:We examined 17 boys (age: 14.35±1.32 years) with the diagnosis of delayed puberty and 20 age and sex matched control (age: 14.90±1.07 years) for their fasting leptin levels.

💡

Conclusion & Impact:Leptin levels were determined as 4.33±1.28 µg/L in normal subjects and as 0.99±0.88 µg/L in delayed puberty group (p=0.0001).

Abstract

We examined 17 boys (age: 14.35±1.32 years) with the diagnosis of delayed puberty and 20 age and sex matched control (age: 14.90±1.07 years) for their fasting leptin levels. Leptin levels were determined as 4.33±1.28 µg/L in normal subjects and as 0.99±0.88 µg/L in delayed puberty group (p=0.0001).

Özet

Cerrahpaşa Tıp Fakültesi Endokrinoloji-Metabolizma ve Beslenme Hastalıkları Bilim Dalı polikliniğine gecikmiş puberte sebebiyle başvuran 17 erkek hasta (yaş: 14.35±1.32 yıl) ve aynı yaş grubunda fakat puberteye girmiş 20 sağlıklı kontrol (yaş 14.90±1.07 yıl) çalışmaya alınmıştır. Hastalardan 16 saat açlık sonunda leptin düzeyleri için kan alındı. Normal hastalarda açlık leptin düzeyleri 4.33±1.28 µg/L saptanırken gecikmiş puberteli hastalarda 0.99±0.88 µ g/L olarak bulundu (p=0.0001).
