Abstract
We have reported that, compared with umbilical concentrations, on the 4th day of life fasting plasma leptin and insulin concentrations are significantly decreased, and plasma NPY concentrations increased.1 The effects of feeding on plasma concentrations of these hormones are controversial2,3 or have not been studied.Keywords
