The purpose of the study was to analyze the characteristics of the adipocytokine status and lipid spectrum in large for gestational age (LGA) in the dynamics of the neonatal period, to assess the influence of the metabolic status of mothers on the analyzed indicators of their infants. 348 fullterm newborns were examined. 3 groups of LGA were distinguished, taking into account the presence of type 1 diabetes mellitus in the mother (Gr1), overweight or obesity (Gr3) or the absence of disorders of carbohydrate and fat metabolism (Gr2). Group 4 (Gr4) – normal weight from mothers without changes in carbohydratelipid metabolism. The content of adipocytokines, lipids, glucose and vitamin D was studied in the “motherchild” dyads, blood serum of children in the dynamics of the neonatal period. An adipocytokine imbalance and hyperlipidemia were revealed in mothers of the examined groups of LGA, more pronounced with overweight and obesity. The TG/HDL ratio was significantly higher in Gr3. The influence of metabolic disorders in women on indicators of physical development, parameters of hormonal status and lipid profiles of children was established. Leptin levels at birth were significantly higher in LGA of all three groups compared to normalweight children (p < 0.001, p = 0.002, p < 0.001). In the dynamics of the early neonatal period, a statistically significant decrease in leptin was observed against the background of an increase in total serum cholesterol. Maternal HDL, leptin, and cord blood IGF1 levels were associated with neonatal size. The identified perinatal hormonal and metabolic patterns have a pronounced effect not only on the condition and anthropometric status of LGA newborns, but also program the pace of physical development in the neonatal period.
