Leptin and ghrelin were positively correlated and resulted twice/thrice more concentrated in milk than in plasma. Plasma IGF-1 level was 7-fold higher than in milk with high correlation (r=+0.84; P<0.01). During periprandial period (immediately pre-feeding, 1 and 4-h post feeding) plasma leptin and IGF-1 levels did not change significantly, while plasma ghrelin level was significantly lower 1 h after feeding. %A Rosi, F. %A Rapetti, L. %P 701-704 %R 10.22358/jafs/74096/2004 %U https://doi.org/10.22358/jafs/74096/2004
