Time-resolved hypothalamic open flow micro-perfusion reveals normal leptin transport across the blood–brain barrier in leptin resistant mice

open access: yesMolecular Metabolism, 2018
Objective: The inability of leptin to suppress food intake in diet-induced obesity, sometimes referred to as leptin resistance, is associated with several distinct pathological hallmarks.

Exploring the Molecular Pathways Underlying the Anti‐Diabetic Effects of Millets

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Millet consumption may modulate gluconeogenesis and glycolysis, enhance glucose transporter activity, increase leptin levels, inhibit the NF‐κB pathway, and mitigate oxidative and nitrosative stress. ABSTRACT Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemic conditions resulting from inadequate insulin production or ...

Multilevel regulation of leptin storage, turnover, and secretion by feeding and insulin in rat adipose tissue

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2006
The mechanisms of the increased serum leptin in response to feeding are poorly understood. Therefore, we used metabolic labeling to directly assess leptin biosynthesis, secretion, and turnover in adipose tissue from 14 h-starved compared with fed 12–14 ...

Leptin Suppresses Glutamate-Induced Apoptosis Through Regulation of ERK1/2 Signaling Pathways in Rat Primary Astrocytes

open access: yesCellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2017
Background/Aims: Leptin is a hormone expressed by adipose tissue that regulates body energy homeostasis and weight loss by activating leptin receptors in the hypothalamus. Leptin receptors are also expressed in astrocytes.

A Leptin-regulated Circuit Controls Glucose Mobilization During Noxious Stimuli [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Adipocytes secrete the hormone leptin to signal the sufficiency of energy stores. Reductions in circulating leptin concentrations reflect a negative energy balance, which augments sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation in response to metabolically ...

Analysis of circadian pattern reveals tissue-specific alternative transcription in leptin signaling pathway [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
*Background* It has been previously reported that most mammalian genes display a circadian oscillation in their baseline expression. Consequently, the phase and amplitude of each component of a signal transduction cascade has downstream ...

The Response of Serum Cortisol and Leptin Levels to Academic Stress [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background: Medical students are subjected to various types of stress during the academic course and they react differently. This study is an attempt to establish a relationship between the coping abilities, serum cortisol and leptin levels in response ...

The leptin system and its expression at different nutritional and pregnant stages in lined seahorse (Hippocampus erectus)

open access: yesBiology Open, 2016
Leptin is an essential hormone for the regulation of energy metabolism and food intake in vertebrate animals. To better understand the physiological roles of leptin in nutrient regulation in paternal ovoviviparous fish (family Syngnathidae), the present ...
