Ghrelin, insulin-like growth factor I and adipocytokines concentrations in born small for gestational age prepubertal children after the catch-up growth

Abstract: The increased production of ghrelin and IGF-I seems to be an adaptive mechanism to achieve normal growth in SGA children. The significance of high ghrelin and low adiponectin concentrations, observed in normal-height prepubertal SGA children, requires elucidation, with reference to the development of metabolic complications.

“…Although nutrient intake may be lower in very young children born SGA than AGA peers, intake increased with age during childhood [41]. An increased production of ghrelin and IGF-I and the development of insulin resistance could be an adaptive mechanism to achieve normal growth in SGA children [42].…”

“…In our earlier work [43] we found that in prepubertal SGA children with catch-up, higher ghrelin and higher IGF-I concentration were observed than in SGA children without catch-up. Thus, we also analysed the differences in the concentrations of these hormones, depending on the genotypes.…”

“…Significantly lower adiponectin concentrations in SGA children, even with catch-up growth, compared with AGA children, were also noted [50]. A fat cell hypertrophy, paradoxically associated with decreased adiponectin expression in adipocytes, was implicated as a mechanism [33].…”

“…In obese children and adolescents, hypoadiponectinemia and hyperleptinemia, as well as higher values of resistin were well correlated with an atherogenic lipid profile and markers of IR [65,66]. The majority of these correlations have also been documented in term SGA children [50,67]. However, the literature on the role of adipokines in regulating lipid metabolism and/or insulin sensibility in preterm children is limited [20].…”
