Leptin levels correlated with the clinical severity of asthma and this was suggested to be associated with the severity of inflammation in asthma. More studies are required to evaluate leptin levels in predicting asthma severity.

We found significantly higher insulin and visfatin levels in LGA neonates and lower adiponectin levels in SGA neonates. We concluded that the relationship between adiponectin and visfatin and insulin sensitivity (metabolic disturbances) is very complex with little evidence of correlation in SGA and LGA neonates.
