Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 BackgroundObesity can cause hypertension and exacerbates sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). Leptin is an adipocyte-produced hormone, which increases metabolic rate, suppresses appetite, modulates control of breathing, and increases blood pressure.

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.

Evaluation of the leptin receptor in human spermatozoa
Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2010 Background Leptin, a 167 amino acid peptide hormone, profoundly effects reproduction exerting its biological effects via interaction with the leptin receptor (ObR) which is widely expressed on peripheral tissues.

Estimation of Leptin and Leptin Receptor Concentrations in Seminal Plasma of Primary Infertile Men
مجلة كلية الطب, 2017 Background: There are many sources for Leptin secretion, and it is activated by binding with its receptor known as leptin receptor, that play a role in male infertility.

Leptin and Soluble Leptin Receptor in Follicular Fluid [PDF]
Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics, 2003 Previous studies suggest that follicular fluid leptin levels predict successful assisted reproduction. The relationship between intrafollicular leptin and the soluble leptin receptor, ovarian hormones, and oocyte quality was examined to determine potential factors contributing to this finding.Follicular fluid leptin, soluble leptin receptor, hormones ...

Associations between serum leptin levels, hyperlipidemia, and cholelithiasis in dogs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Leptin and its receptor play several physiological roles in the canine gallbladder, and the dysregulation of leptin might play a role in the pathogenesis of gallbladder diseases such as gallbladder mucocele.

C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Leptin Receptor in Obesity: Binding of Monomeric CRP to Leptin Receptor
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 While leptin deficiency or dysfunction leads to morbid obesity, obese subjects are characterized paradoxically by hyperleptinemia indicating lack of response to leptin.

Expression of leptin and leptin receptor transcript in ovine corpus luteum [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2018 Background: Leptin, the product of the obesity (ob) gene, acts as a signaling adipokine for modulating food intake, energy metabolism and reproductive functions in mammals. Leptin’s effects on the reproductive system at various levels of the hypothalamic-
