Table 1_Adiponectin and leptin levels in mothers, fetuses, and neonates with intrauterine

100 IUGR and 100 AGA full-term pregnancies were analyzed in this case-control study. Adiponectin and leptin levels were measured in maternal, umbilical cord, and neonatal peripheral blood, alongside placental gene expression and DNA methylation analysis. The dataset was authored by Nuzhat Parveen and last updated on 2026-05-26.

Use Cases

• Compare adipokine concentration profiles across maternal, cord, and neonatal compartments based on the described blood sample measurements.
• Investigate the relationship between placental gene expression and DNA methylation for ADIPOQ and LEP genes based on the described molecular analysis.
• Model compartment-specific metabolic dysregulation in IUGR pregnancies based on the differential adipokine levels reported in the results.

Strengths

• Includes data from 200 total pregnancies (100 IUGR and 100 AGA cases), providing a matched case-control structure.
• Analyzes multiple biological compartments (maternal blood, cord blood, neonatal blood, placental tissue) for a multi-faceted view.
• Combines hormone level measurements with gene expression and DNA methylation data from placental tissue.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific analytical tasks.
• The dataset is very small at 49.3 KB, indicating limited scope.
