Leptin (from the Greek leptos=thin) was identified only 3 years ago. It has attracted huge attention both scientifically, with more than 600 publications, and in the media, where this protein has been portrayed as the way to a cure for obesity. Indeed, leptin was first described as an adipocyte-derived signalling factor, which, after interaction with ...

A highly conserved protein called 'leptin' was recently discovered to play a role in regulation of the energy balance in humans and rodents. This 167-amino-acid-containing protein is only produced and secreted by mature adipocytes. Absence of the protein in mutant ob/ob mice and resistance to its effects in db/db mice lead to extreme obesity and type ...

The discovery of leptin was a major breakthrough in our understanding of the role of adipose tissue as a storage and secretory organ. Leptin was initially thought to act mainly to prevent obesity; however, studies have demonstrated profound effects of leptin in the response to fasting, regulation of neuroendocrine and immune systems, hematopoiesis ...

AbstractThe recent discovery of gastric leptin has initiated several investigations on the possible role of leptin in digestive physiology. The following clues are currently suggested: leptin might control meal size in cooperation with Cholecystokinin, help cytoprotection of the gastric mucosa, play a role in gut inflammatory processes, regulate ...

The hormone leptin, secreted predominantly from adipose tissue, plays a crucial role in the regulation of numerous neuroendocrine functions, from energy homeostasis to reproduction. Genetic deficiency as a consequence of leptin or leptin receptor mutations, although rare in humans, leads to early onset of chronic hyperphagia and massive obesity.

Placental tissues from humans, rodents and farm animals contain leptin and its receptor. Leptin produced by the human placenta has the same size, charge and immunoreactivity as leptin produced by adipose tissue. However, the expression of human placental leptin appears to be regulated by a placenta-specific upstream enhancer.
