Asprosin is a novel adipokine which is significantly associated with glucose and insulin production in the liver during fasting. In present study, we aimed to demonstrate whether there would be differences between obese children, overweight children and normal weight controls in terms of serum asprosin levels. METHODS In present study, 44 children with obesity, 54 overweight children and 60 normal weight children were compared in terms of serum asprosin levels, as well as, other anthropometric, biochemical and hormonal parameters that are associated with being overwieght and obesity. RESULTS Serum asprosin levels were 70.903 ±17.49 ng/mL, 79.744 ±29.54 ng/mL and 106.293 ±122.69 ng/mL in normal weight, overweight and obese children groups; respectively. Serum asprosin levels were found to be significantly different between groups. Posthoc analysis revealed that asprosin level was significantly higher in obese children group compared with normal weight children (p=0.009). Additionally, asprosin was found to be a predictor for obese group in multiple regression analysis. CONCLUSION Our study is the first to demonstrate increased levels of asprosin in obese children compared with normal weight ones. Further studies are needed to demonstrate the role of asprosin in the etiology of childhood obesity, as well as, other diseases that might be associated with effects of asprosin. © 2020 Japan Pediatric Society.The purpose of the study was to investigate the association between infectious agents and the development of cancer in the ocular adnexa.
