“…It has already been illustrated that serum leptin concentrations are significantly higher in female adults than in male adults, even after adjustment for BMI and percentage of body fat [28, 29]. Similarly, our study also demonstrated that serum leptin concentrations in girls were notably higher than in boys after the onset of puberty (from pubertal stage 2 to 5), and serum leptin levels were positively correlated with estradiol in girls but negatively correlated with testosterone in boys.…”

The aim of the study is to investigate the changes of serum leptin and kisspeptin levels in children and adolescents with different pubertal stages and nutritional states. A total of 647 Chinese children and adolescents were recruited, and serum estradiol, testosterone, pituitary gonadotropins, leptin, and kisspeptin levels were measured. The results showed that serum leptin levels of boys in T2 stage were the highest among the five stages, while they showed a gradual increase from T1 to T5 stage in girls and reached the highest in T5 stage (P < 0.05). Conversely, serum kisspeptin levels of boys were higher in T4 and T5 stages than those in T1 stage, while its levels of girls were the highest in T2 stage, 21.4% higher than those in T1 stage (P < 0.05). Both leptin and kisspeptin levels were positively correlated with BMI, WC, and weight in all boys and girls (all P < 0.05). In conclusion, kisspeptin levels were firstly found to be notably changed in pubertal stages and nutritional status in Chinese children and adolescents with a significant sexual dimorphism. Obese/overweight girls had higher kisspeptin levels, and there was a positive correlation between kisspeptin and FSH and LH and obesity-related parameters in all boys and girls.

“…Ratings from 1 to 12 indicate that the subject has a healthy level of visceral fat, while ratings from 13 to 59 indicate that the patient has an excess level of visceral fat. Visceral fat rating is been extensively used in medical research as an indirect visceral fat measurement in adults [ 32 ] and children [ 33 ].…”

An increase in visceral fat is associated with a decrease in the taste and olfactory capacity

IntroductionSensory factors may play an important role in the determination of appetite and food choices. Also, some adipokines may alter or predict the perception and pleasantness of specific odors. We aimed to analyze differences in smell–taste capacity between females with different weights and relate them with fat and fat-free mass, visceral fat, and several adipokines.Materials and methods179 females with different weights (from low weight to morbid obesity) were studied. We analyzed the relation between fat, fat-free mass, visceral fat (indirectly estimated by bioelectrical impedance analysis with visceral fat rating (VFR)), leptin, adiponectin and visfatin. The smell and taste assessments were performed through the "Sniffin’ Sticks" and "Taste Strips" respectively.ResultsWe found a lower score in the measurement of smell (TDI-score (Threshold, Discrimination and Identification)) in obese subjects. All the olfactory functions measured, such as threshold, discrimination, identification and the TDI-score, correlated negatively with age, body mass index (BMI), leptin, fat mass, fat-free mass and VFR. In a multiple linear regression model, VFR mainly predicted the TDI-score. With regard to the taste function measurements, the normal weight subjects showed a higher score of taste functions. However a tendency to decrease was observed in the groups with greater or lesser BMI. In a multiple linear regression model VFR and age mainly predicted the total taste scores.DiscussionWe show for the first time that a reverse relationship exists between visceral fat and sensory signals, such as smell and taste, across a population with different body weight conditions.

“…The resistin levels have been shown to be negatively correlated to waist-hip ratio and positively correlated with body fat mass which would be consistent with a role of resistin in the insulin resistance development [14]. Opposite to this opinion, some studies do not confirm the correlation between the resistin plasma levels, BMI and the insulin resistance [15]. The resistin concentrations in pregnant women are significantly higher as compared to non-pregnant controls and increase as pregnancy progresses.…”

The higher levels of leptin in the overweight and obese pregnant women seem to reflect the leptin resistance condition and the higher levels of C-peptide in this group is suggestive for hyperinsulinemia. The positive correlation between C-peptide and leptin levels but not with resistin and adiponectin might confirm the role of leptin in the hyperinsulinemia development in overweight and obesity during pregnancy.
