Özet

AIM: Children with Cerebral Pals), (CP) arc generally undernourished and growth retarded than normal children. The reasons of malnutrition arc not only due to poor nutritional status but also nonnutritional factors including negative neurotrophic effects and indirect factor such as immobility, endocrinological abnormalities or spasticity that energy requirements might be contributing factors. Several studies indicated that leptin which is produced by adipocytes, might regulate energy intake and expenditure. The aim Of this Study is to determine serum leptin levels in children with CP and to investigate the relationship between nutritional Status and anthropometric measurements.
