Association of the leptin receptor Q223R (rs1137101) polymorphism with obesity measures in Sri Lankans [PDF]
, 2020 OBJECTIVE: The role of genetic factors in the development of obesity is largely unreported in Sri Lankans. The Q223R (rs1137101) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the leptin receptor (LEPR) gene has been associated with obesity measures in various ...

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.This schematic figure illustrates the experimental design and key findings of the study. Forty male C57BL/6 mice were assigned to either a standard diet control group or a cafeteria diet (CAFD) group for 16 weeks. CAFD induces obesity, insulin resistance (HOMA‐IR), hepatic steatosis, and dysregulation of a number of genes in visceral and subcutaneous ...

A Leptin-regulated Circuit Controls Glucose Mobilization During Noxious Stimuli [PDF]
, 2017 Adipocytes secrete the hormone leptin to signal the sufficiency of energy stores. Reductions in circulating leptin concentrations reflect a negative energy balance, which augments sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation in response to metabolically ...

Increased circulating ANG II and TNF-α represents important risk factors in obese Saudi adults with hypertension irrespective of diabetic status and BMI [PDF]
, 2012 Central adiposity is a significant determinant of obesity-related hypertension risk, which may arise due to the pathogenic inflammatory nature of the abdominal fat depot.

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.

Hyperleptinemia is required for the development of leptin resistance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Leptin regulates body weight by signaling to the brain the availability of energy stored as fat. This negative feedback loop becomes disrupted in most obese individuals, resulting in a state known as leptin resistance.
