    • Leptin and IGF-I/II during the first weeks of life determine body composition at 2 years in infants born ... 
      Hernández, María Isabel; Rossel, Katherine; Peña, Verónica; Cavada Chacón, Gabriel; Avila, Alejandra; Iñíguez Vila, Germán; Mericq, Verónica (2012)
      Rapid early growth is associated with adverse metabolic outcome. The aim of this study was to determine whether there are differences in body composition (BC) between very-low-birth-weight preterm (VLBWPT) infants born ...
    • Microstructural brain and multivoxel spectroscopy in very low birth weight infants related to insulin-like ... 
      Okuma, Cecilia; Hernández, M. Isabel; Rodríguez, Pablo; Porras Flores, Rodrigo Antonio; Avila, Alejandra; Cavada Chacón, Gabriel; Kopplin, Erika; Rossel, Katherine; Iñíguez Vila, Germán; Mericq, Verónica (2013)
      Background: Very low birth weight (VLBW) children have higher risk of neurologic disabilities and growth factors are essential for brain maturation. Aim: To assess whether there are differences in neurologic findings, ...
    • Patterns of infancy growth and metabolic hormonal profile are different in very-low-birth-weight preterm ... 
      Hernández, María Isabel; Rossel, Katherine; Peña, Veronica; García, Mirna; Cavada Chacón, Gabriel; Avila, Alejandra; Iñíguez Vila, Germán; Mericq, Verónica (Karger, 2018)
      Background/Aims: An increased preterm birth survival rate is associated with long-term neurological and metabolic risks; thus, our aim was to evaluate whether early patterns of infancy anthropometry and metabolic hormonal ...
    • Serum fibroblast growth factor 21 levels are inversely associated with growth rates in infancy 
      Mericq, Verónica; De Luca, Francesco; Hernández, María Isabel; Peña, Verónica; Rossel, Katherine; Garcia, Mirna; Avila, Alejandra; Cavada Chacón, Gabriel; Iñíguez Vila, Germán (S. Karger AG, 2014)
      Background: Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a metabolic and growth regulator.Aim: To investigate the role of FGF21 during growth in infancy.Methods: Blood samples for FGF21, leptin, insulin and glucose were collected ...
