Aberrant miR-874-3p/leptin/EGFR/c-Myc signaling contributes to nasopharyngeal carcinoma pathogenesis
Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2022 Background Leptin is important in physiological and pathological functions in various cancers, however, the significance and mechanisms of leptin in nasopharyngeal carcinoma remain ambiguous.

Dexamethasone and Acetate Modulate Cytoplasmic Leptin in Bovine Preadipocytes [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2014 Hormonal and nutrient signals regulate leptin synthesis and secretion. In rodents, leptin is stored in cytosolic pools of adipocytes. However, not much information is available regarding the regulation of intracellular leptin in ruminants.

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Graphical summary of obesity‐induced NASH progression by LCN2 targeted to HSC activation. Abstract Background and Aims In obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, leptin promotes insulin resistance and contributes to the progression of NASH via activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs).

Serum leptin and its relation to anthropometric measures of obesity in pre-diabetic Saudis [PDF]
, 2007 Background: Little information is available on leptin concentrations in individuals with IGT. This study aims to determine and correlate leptin levels to anthropometric measures of obesity in prediabetic, (IFG and IGT), type 2 diabetic and normoglycaemic

Leptin revisited: The role of leptin in starvation [PDF]
Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2018 Starvation causes reductions in plasma leptin concentrations, but the physiologic impact of this observation had not been documented in the starved state. Here we discuss our recent work demonstrating that hypoleptinemia activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, increasing white adipose tissue (WAT) lipolysis and mediating a shift from ...

The Journal of Immunology, 2005 Abstract Leptin is an adipokine which conveys information on energy availability. In humans, leptin influences energy homeostasis and regulates neuroendocrine function primarily in states of energy deficiency. As a cytokine, leptin also affects thymic homeostasis and, similar to other proinflammatory cytokines, leptin promotes Th1 ...

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract Background and Aims Reliable noninvasive biomarkers are an unmet clinical need for the diagnosis of NASH. This study investigates the diagnostic accuracy of the circulating triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (plasma TREM2) as a biomarker for NASH in patients with NAFLD and elevated liver stiffness.
