Background Leptin (LEP) acts as a proinflammatory cytokine and may play an important role
in the pathophysiology of cystic fibrosis (CF). This review aimed to assess the quantitative …

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease characterized by progressive decline of lung
function and chronic airway inflammation. Adipose tissue, through adiponectin and leptin …

Along with the significant elongation in the average life expectancy of patients with cystic
fibrosis (CF), there are still significant discrepancies in the height, weight, and body mass …

Results: For BMI percentiles, there was a significant increase in serum leptin level (p= 0.042)
and a significant decrease in serum adiponectin level (p= 0.039) in uninfected children …

Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the leptin levels in the serum and
peritoneal fluid (PF) and the protein expression in three different peritoneal ectopic implants …

Results: Mothers: A significant correlation was found between maternal Lc and body mass
index (BMI)(r= 0.75, p< 0.001). Maternal Lc was 3 times higher than neonatal Lc (p< …

Results: One hundred and six children (12.1 years, 46 boys) had a positive HBT result.
Symptoms occurrence was positively related to net hydrogen concentration at 30 min, 60 …

Results: The mean age of 61 included children was 13.3±7.6 years. Delta F508
homozygosity was detected in 45.9%, 44.3% were delta F508 heterozygous, and 9.8% had …

Results: The PLEM enhanced fat and protein digestion, and reversed growth impairment in
EPI pigs. With treatment, CFA and CNA increased by 59% and 43%(p< 0.05), respectively …

Results The study enrolled 56 patients, of whom 29 (52%) were female and 17 (30%) were
younger than 16 years. Median (1st–3rd quartile) mass Z-score was–0.85 (–1.56–(–0.36)); …
