Abstract excerpt

Relationships of blood circulating melanocortins to childhood obesity are not well established. We evaluated serum alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) in lean children and different study groups of childhood obesity. We examined serum alpha-MSH in 52 otherwise healthy children with childhood obesity (Ob; mean age, 11 years; 32 girls/20 boys), 27 normal-weight children of same age, 7 additional obese...
