Leptin-dependent Phosphorylation of PTEN Mediates Actin Restructuring and Activation of ATP-sensitive K+ Channels [PDF]
, 2009 Leptin activates multiple signaling pathways in cells, including the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway, indicating a degree of cross-talk with insulin signaling. The exact mechanisms by which leptin alters this signaling pathway and how it relates

Journal 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 ...

Effects of methamphetamine on locomotor activity and thalamic gene expression in leptin-deficient obese mice [PDF]
, 2017 Leptin is an adipose-derived hormone that regulates energy balance. Leptin receptors are expressed in extrahypothalamic sites and several reports showed that leptin can influence feeding and locomotor behavior via direct actions on dopaminergic neurons ...

The Bidirectional Relationship Between Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Metabolic Disease [PDF]
, 2018 Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder, effecting 17% of the total population and 40–70% of the obese population (1, 2). Multiple studies have identified OSA as a critical risk factor for the development of obesity, diabetes, and ...

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.

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.
