Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma Leptin Levels in Healthy Children and Adolescents: Dependence on Body Mass Index, Body Fat Mass, Gender, Pubertal Stage, and Testosterone
Werner F. Blum,P Englaro,Sigrid Hanitsch,Anders Juul,Niels Thomas Hertel,Jørn Müller,Niels E. Skakkebæk,Mark L. Heiman,Martin A. Birkett,A. Attanasio,Wieland Kiess,Wolfgang Rascher +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a specific and sensitive RIA was developed that allowed the accurate measurement of low leptin levels in young lean children, and leptin proved to be a comparatively stable protein under common conditions of blood sampling and storage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insulin and Cortisol Promote Leptin Production in Cultured Human Fat Cells
Martin Wabitsch,Per Bo Jensen,Werner F. Blum,Claus T Christoffersen,P Englaro,Eberhard Heinze,Wolfgang Rascher,Walter M. Teller,Hans Tornqvist,Hans Hauner +9 more
TL;DR: Results clearly indicate that both insulin and cortisol are potent and possibly physiological regulators of leptin expression in human adipose tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
A specific radioimmunoassay for the growth hormone (GH)-dependent somatomedin-binding protein: its use for diagnosis of GH deficiency.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the large mol wt SmBP is an excellent screening parameter and is highly informative for GHD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum levels of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) in healthy infants, children, and adolescents: the relation to IGF-I, IGF-II, IGFBP-1, IGFBP-2, age, sex, body mass index, and pubertal maturation
Anders Juul,Peter Dalgaard,Werner F. Blum,Peter Bang,K Hall,Kim F. Michaelsen,Jørn Müller,N E Skakkebaek +7 more
TL;DR: Age, sex, height, BMI, and pubertal maturation were all important factors in determining the circulating levels of IGFBP-3, whereas IGF-I levels were unaffected by BMI.
