ADIPOQ and Hyperglycemia: To approach the question if circulating adiponectin levels may influence neonatal glucose homeostasis in preterm infants, we performed a matched-paired analysis in 20 ELGANs and compared adiponectin levels in infants who had hyperglycemia in the first weeks of life with preterm infants with unimpaired glucose homeostasis who were matched in terms of gestational age and gender.
