Implication of Leptin-Signaling Proteins and Epstein-Barr Virus in Gastric Carcinomas. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 We investigated the clinicopathological implications of leptin-signaling proteins and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-infection status in gastric carcinomas. Immunohistochemistry for leptin signalling-related proteins (leptin, leptin-receptor, pSTAT3, ERK, pAkt,

Normal leptin expression, lower adipogenic ability, decreased leptin receptor and hyposensitivity to Leptin in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Leptin has been suggested to play a role in the etiology of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS), however, the leptin levels in AIS girls are still a discrepancy, and no in vitro study of leptin in AIS is reported.

Leptin receptor in boar spermatozoa [PDF]
International Journal of Andrology, 2007 SummaryLeptin is active in both metabolism and reproduction. In fact, it seems to exert an inhibitory action on gonadal functions by reducing testosterone production. The presence of leptin in human and boar seminal plasma and in human spermatozoa has been demonstrated; recently, leptin receptors (Ob‐R) have been localized in human spermatozoa, thus ...

Monitoring the Expression of Leptin Receptor in Avian Model
Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023 In this study we carried the expression of leptin receptor in organs and abdominal fat of broiler chickens. The leptin receptor is a member of the class I cytokine receptor family, also known as the gpl30 receptor family, although unlike many other ...

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.

Monitoring leptin activity using the chicken leptin receptor [PDF]
Journal of Endocrinology, 2008 We report on the construction of a leptin bioassay based on the activation of chicken leptin receptor in cultured cells. A human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 cell line, stably transfected with the full-length cDNA of chicken leptin receptor together with a STAT3-responsive reporter gene specifically responded to recombinant human and Xenopus leptins. The

Leptin induces IL-6 expression through OBRl receptor signaling pathway in human synovial fibroblasts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: Leptin, an adipocyte-secreted hormone that centrally regulates weight control, may exert proinflammatory effects in the joint, depending on the immune response.
