Cellular 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.

Mouse circadian plasma leptin and active ghrelin rhythms under ad libitum and scheduled feeding [PDF]
, 2007 Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2007Light is the strongest timing cue for the circadian system, but non-photic cues can also entrain the master circadian clock, i.e., suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN).

Acute leptin deficiency, leptin resistance, and the physiologic response to leptin withdrawal [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2005 Food restriction and weight loss result in reduced plasma leptin, which is associated with a pleiotropic biologic response. However, because weight loss itself is also associated with changes in numerous other humoral and metabolic signals, it can be difficult to determine the precise features of the biologic response to acute leptin deficiency.

Parabiosis, Assembloids, Organoids (PAO)
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This review evaluates parabiosis, organoids, and assembloids as complementary disease models spanning systemic, organ, and multi‐organ levels. It highlights their construction strategies, applications, and current limitations, while emphasizing their integration with frontier technologies such as artificial intelligence, organ‐on‐a‐chip, CRISPR, and ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study provides the first evidence that PM2.5 impairs iWAT browning via PTG‐mediated glycogen metabolism disruption, which is initiated by ADRB3 inhibition and subsequently triggers VEGFB upregulation. It thereby delineates the ADRB3‐PTG‐VEGFB axis as central to PM2.5‐induced metabolic dysfunction and identifies adipose glycogen metabolism as a ...

Early postnatal caloric restriction protects adult male intrauterine growth-restricted offspring from obesity. [PDF]
, 2012 Postnatal ad libitum caloric intake superimposed on intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with adult-onset obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Leptin receptor signaling: pathways to leptin resistance
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2011 The identification of spontaneous mutations in the leptin- and leptin receptor (ObR)-encoding ob and db gene, respectively, opened up a new field in obesity research. Leptin, an adipocyte-derived hormone, mirrors the body's fat stores and thereby informs the brain about the body's energy status.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study presents an impedance‐based single‐cell profiling platform that quantifies the electrical and mechanical properties of neutrophils across in vitro, in vivo, and clinical samples. The approach reveals distinct biophysical alterations associated with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and cardiovascular complications, suggesting its potential utility for ...

Discovery of the elusive leptin in birds: identification of several 'missing links' in the evolution of leptin and its receptor. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Leptin is a pleiotropic protein best known for regulation of appetite and fat storage in mammals. While many leptin orthologs have been identified among vertebrates, an authentic leptin in birds has remained elusive and controversial.
