Low-birth-weight, but not catch-up growth, correlates with insulin resistance and resistin level in SGA infants at 12 months

Abstract

Low-birth-weight, but not catch-up growth or adiposity tissue hormones, was correlated with insulin resistance at 12 months in non-obese SGA infants. The higher resistin in SGA infants and its correlation with total cholesterol and lipoprotein(a) need further clarification.
