This study found a positive correlation between maternal exposure to parabens and cord serum leptin levels, and leptin levels were positively associated with offspring size. Both paraben and adipokine levels may affect fetal growth, and sex-specific differences may exist.
Background: Paraben exposure is linked to the release of adipokine such as leptin and adiponectin, and both paraben and adipokine may affect fetal growth. The present study aimed to explore the associations among maternal paraben exposure, adipokine level and offspring size. Methods: 942 mother-newborn pairs from the Sheyang Mini Birth Cohort Study (SMBCS) were enrolled. Data of birth weight, length, head circumference and ponderal index (PI) were obtained from medical records. Maternal urinary parabens were determined by gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Cord serum leptin and adiponectin were measured using ELISA assay. Generalized linear regression was applied to explore the associations among parabens, adipokines and offspring size. Results: The median levels of leptin and adiponectin were 13.13 mu g/L and 161.82 mu g/mL. Benzylparaben level was positively associated with leptin (regression coefficient (13) = 0.06, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.03-0.09; p < 0.01). Leptin level was positively associated with neonatal weight (13 = 84.11, 95% CI: 63.22-105.01; p < 0.01), length (13 = 0.25, 95% CI: 0.14-0.37; p < 0.01), head circumference (13 = 0.15, 95% CI: 0.07-0.22; p < 0.01) and PI (13 = 0.23, 95% CI: 0.08-0.39; p < 0.01). Adiponectin was positively associated with neonatal weight (13 = 75.94, 95% CI: 29.65-122.23; p < 0.01) and PI (13 = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.09-0.77; p = 0.01). Urinary propylparaben concentration (13 =-0.10, 95% CI:-0.17 to-0.02; p = 0.01) was negatively associated with head circumference. Sex-stratified analyses indicated the negative association of propylparaben and head circumference was only remained in male neonates. Conclusions: Prenatal paraben exposure might affect cord serum leptin levels. Both paraben and adipokine levels may affect fetal growth, and sex-specific differences may exist.
