Investigation of Serum Leptin and Bone Mineral Densitometry Relationship in Obez Prepubertal and Pubertal Children
Öz
Abstract: Complex interaction between leptin, obesity and
bone metabolism has been recently described. Leptin has potential role on growth
and bone formation and has an effect on osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity
resulting increased bone mineral content. The aim of this study was to evaluate
possible association between serum leptin levels and bone mineral density
(BMD). Forty-five children (27 girls and 18 boys) aged between 6 to 17 years
old, diagnosed as exogen obesity at Department of Pediatrics, Eskisehir
Osmangazi University Medical Faculty, were enrolled. Thirty-nine healthy
children (17 girls, 22 boys= aged between 6 to 17 years old serve as a control
group. Serum leptin levels have been performed in all children. BMD were
evaluated with Dual-energy X-Ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Serum leptin levels
were significantly higher in obese children than the controls (p<0.001).
Also BMD values were higher in obese children than the controls (p<0.001).
Serum leptin levels were similar between obese boys and girls (p>0.05)
however BMD values were higher in obese girls than obese boys (p<0.05).
Serum leptin levels and BMD values were similar between prepubertal and
pubertal obese children. Serum leptin and BMD values were significantly higher
in obese girls than the girls in the control group (p<0.001 for all). Serum
leptin (p<0.001) and BMD values (p<0.05) were higher in obese boys than
the controls. In obese children group, serum leptin were positively correlated
with BMD values (p<0.05). As a conclusion, BMD values were higher in obese
children and the rising levels resulting the osteoblastic activity might be
associated with an increased serum leptin levels. Further studies needed for
evaluation the potential central or peripheral effects of leptin on bone
metabolism
