Maternal plasma leptin concentration is significantly increased during pregnancy. However, its roles in pregnancy, especially in labor, have not been fully clarified. We measured plasma leptin concentrations in pregnant women during the course of induced labor, just after spontaneous vaginal delivery and Cesarean section at term. We also studied the regulation of leptin secretion from term placental tissue and BeWo cells, a trophoblastic cell-line. Plasma leptin concentrations increased significantly during labor (58.9 +/- 9.2 ng/ml) compared to those before labor induction (37.5 +/- 5.8 ng/ml, P
