The Effect of Plasma Ghrelin and Serum Leptin Levels on Growth in Breastfed and Formula-fed Infants during Early Infancy Period

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effects of ghrelin, leptin and lipid levels on growth status of healthyinfants fed with breastmilk (BF) and formula (FF).Material and Metods: This study was performed in 46 healthy infants. The study group wassubdivided into two subgroups according to nutrition status as breastfed and formula infants.These infants were evaluated at two different times (mean of the second and fifth months,respectively). The ghrelin, leptin, triglyceride and total cholesterol levels of infants were studiedat the first visit.Results: Plasma total ghrelin concentrations were significantly higher in BF group than FFgroup(p

Erken Bebeklik Döneminde Anne Sütü ve Formül Mama ile Beslenen Bebeklerin Ghrelin ve Leptin Düzeylerinin Büyüme Üzerine Etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Anne sütü (AS) ve formül mama (FM) ile beslenen sağlıklı bebeklerde ghrelin, leptinve lipid düzeylerinin bebeklerin büyümesi üzerine etkilerini araştırmaktır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Kırk altı bebek beslenme şekillerine göre AS ve FM gruplarına ayrıldı veiki kez (ortalama iki ve beş aylıkken) değerlendirildi. İlk değerlendirmede ghrelin, leptin,trigliserid ve total kolesterol düzeyleri çalışıldı.Bulgular: AS grubunda plazma total ghrelin düzeyi FM grubundan anlamlı ölçüde yüksekbulundu (p
