Effects of physical exercise on adiponectin, leptin, and inflammatory markers in childhood obesity: systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
, 2018 Background: New findings on adipose tissue physiology and obesity-Associated inflammation status suggest that modification of the adipokine level can be relevant for the long-Term prevention of obesity-Associated chronic disease. Objectives: The scope of

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.

Establishment of Leptin-Responsive Cell Lines from Adult Mouse Hypothalamus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Leptin resistance is considered to be the primary cause of obesity. However, the cause of leptin resistance remains incompletely understood, and there is currently no cure for the leptin-resistant state.
