In 2016, Aydin and coworkers [115] analyzed adiponectin levels in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) neonates and their mothers and found that maternal serum adiponectin levels were similar for both analyzed groups (for IUGR: 4.0 ± 1.6 ng/mL and for normal: 3.7 ± 1.1 ng/mL, respectively), but for IUGR, the cord adiponectin level was significantly lower (3.3 ± 1.3 ng/mL) in comparison to the normal group (5.2 ± 3.1 ng/mL). This evidence concerns the gene ADIPOQ and fetal growth restriction.
