The secreted hepatokine fetuin-A emerges as an independent predictor of type 2 diabetes in adulthood. The overall aims of this study were: (1) to investigate the associations of fetuin-A with adiposity and insulin resistance, as well as its relationship with adipokines, in prepubertal children, and, (2) to evaluate whether, in prepubertal obesity, serum fetuin-A levels may either change or predict...
We measured fasting serum levels of type I procollagen C-terminal propeptide (PICP), insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), and IGF binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) in obese children and adolescents (obese subjects [OS]) to evaluate their relationship to growth, gender, pubertal stage, and weight excess (WE). The influence of insulin, growth hormone (GH), and weight loss was also studied. The study population...
