Commonalities of platelet dysfunction in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and underlying comorbidities

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1013-1028, April 2025.
Abstract Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is characterized by a lack of a specific targeted treatment and a complex, partially unexplored pathophysiology. Common comorbidities associated with HFpEF are hypertension, atrial fibrillation, obesity and diabetes.

Lean ZSF1 rats in basic research on heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1474-1478, April 2025.
Abstract Aims ZSF1 obese rats harbouring two mutant leptin receptor alleles (Leprcp and Leprfa) develop metabolic syndrome and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), making them a widely used animal model in cardiometabolic research.

Decreased leptin concentration in neonates is associated with enhanced postnatal growth during the first year

Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2012
Leptin regulates maternal metabolism and fetal growth by reducing food intake and increasing energy expenditure, particularly during the third trimester.

Impact of single nucleotide polymorphisms in leptin, leptin receptor, growth hormone receptor, and diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT1) gene loci on milk production, feed, and body energy traits of UK dairy cows [PDF]

, 2008
The impact of 9 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the leptin (LEP), leptin receptor (LEPR), growth hormone receptor (GHR), and diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT1) gene loci on daily milk production, feed intake, and feed conversion, and weekly ...

Semaglutide normalizes increased cardiomyocyte calcium transients in a rat model of high fat diet‐induced obesity

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1386-1397, April 2025.
Sequeira et al. reveal how the glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1‐RA) semaglutide restores cardiomyocyte function in rats subjected to a high‐fat/high‐fructose diet (HFD). Employing fluorescence‐ and patch‐clamp technology in isolated cardiac myocytes, they demonstrate that semaglutide reverses HFD‐induced activation of L‐type calcium ...

Anticontractile effect of perivascular adipose tissue and leptin are reduced in hypertension

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2012
Leptin causes vasodilatation both by endothelium-dependent and -independent mechanisms. Leptin is synthetized by perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT). The hypothesis of this study is that a decrease of leptin production in PVAT of spontaneously rats (SHR ...

25-Hydroxy vitamin-D, obesity, and associated variables as predictors of breast cancer risk and tamoxifen benefit in NSABP-P1. [PDF]

, 2012
Observational studies suggest that host factors are associated with breast cancer risk. The influence of obesity, vitamin-D status, insulin resistance, inflammation, and elevated adipocytokines in women at high risk of breast cancer is unknown. The NSABP-

Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

Leptin and leptin resistance in obesity: current evidence, mechanisms and future directions

Endocrine Connections
Leptin, a key adipokine regulating energy homeostasis, has been extensively studied for its potential in the management of obesity. However, its therapeutic efficacy is often limited due to leptin resistance.

Transcriptional Regulation of Neuronal Genes and Its Effect on Neural Functions: Transcriptional Regulation of Neuropeptide Y Gene by Leptin and Its Effect on Feeding

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005
Leptin is an adipose tissue-derived secretory hormone that suppresses appetite by inhibition of neuropepeptide Y (NPY) gene expression in arcuate nucleus (ARC) in the hypothalamus.
