Özet
Talasemi majorlü 40 hastada serum leptin (RIA), ferritin (RIA) ve transferrin (nefelometrik) seviyelerini araştırdık. Kontrol grubundaki 22 kız ve 18 erkek cinsiyet, yaş, beden kitle indeksi yönünden hasta grubuna yakındı. Hasta grubu ortalama serum ferritin düzeyini (1656±1032 ng/ml) kontrol grubuna (45±46 ng/ml) göre anlamlı yüksekti (p
