Introduction:
About 20 thousand of new cases of obesity (Ob) are first registered in children and adolescents in
Ukraine annually (morbidity 2.72/1000, prevalence 13.50/1000 of the corresponding population on 01.01.2016).
Adolescent Ob shows catastrophic rise (prevalence 8.9/1000 in 2001 vs 28.3/1000 in 2015). The role of Ghrelin (Ghr)
is completely unclear in the etiopathogenesis of obesity in adolescents.
Methodology:
A total of 39 obese children with hypothalamic dysfunction (HD) (14 boys, 15.1±1.4 y.) and 14
healthy controls (mean age 14.6±1.2 y.) were included into the study. Among patients with HD-16 patients (41.03
%) had visceral abdominal obesity (VAOb), 23 patients (58.97 %) had gluteofemoral obesity (GFOb). Serum Leptin,
Ghrelin, Insulin level, HOMA-IR were studied. Such studies are conducted in Ukraine for the first time.
Results:
Overweight was revealed in 15 (38.5 %) patients, ObI- in 8 (20.5 %) people, ObII – in 10 (25.6 %) persons,
ObIII-in 6 people (15.4 %). The signs of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR > 2.77; IRI>20 μIU/mL) were noted in 60%
patients. Level of leptin in children with obesity VAOb was 47.2±5.54 ng/ml (BMI 35.2±5.07 kg/m2) and was
significantly higher (26.5±7.13 ng/ml, p<0.05) than in children in the group with GFOb, in combination with similar
metabolic disorders, BMI at the same time was 28.7±2.4 kg/m2). Serum Ghr level was found significantly lower in
obese adolescents compared to that of control group and was dependent on the degree of Ob. The level of Ghr was
the lowest (582.58±59.37 ng/mL) in patients with ObIII. The level of Ghr was significantly lower (p<0.05) in patients
with VAOb than with GFOb (656.63±113.16 vs. 1212.13±114.6 ng/ml, respectively). The levels of hyperinsulinemia
and insulin resistance were increased with an increase of the obesity degree. In six months of treatment level of Ghr
was the same to Ghr level in adolescents with normal weight (1224.25±75.05 ng/ml). Thus, Ghr is the specific marker
of control of efficiency of treatment.
Summary:
Obesity in adolescents is accompanied by a high level of leptin and a low serum Ghr level in the blood
plasma. A high degree of obesity is accompanied by a greater higher Leptin level and decrease in the Ghr level. A
significantly higher Leptin level and lower Ghr level was registered in abdominal Ob comparing to gluteofemoral
type of obesity. Further studies the relationship of Leptin and Ghr level, insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia in
obese adolescents are required.
