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.

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.

On the Molecular Evolution of Leptin, Leptin Receptor, and Endospanin [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2017 Over a decade passed between Friedman's discovery of the mammalian leptin gene (1) and its cloning in fish (2) and amphibians (3). Since 2005, the concept of gene synteny conservation (vs. gene sequence homology) was instrumental in identifying leptin genes in dozens of species, and we now have leptin genes from all major classes of vertebrates.

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Graphical summary of obesity‐induced NASH progression by LCN2 targeted to HSC activation. Abstract Background and Aims In obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, leptin promotes insulin resistance and contributes to the progression of NASH via activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs).

Leptin secretion and leptin receptor in the human stomach [PDF]
Gut, 2000 BACKGROUND AND AIM The circulating peptide leptin produced by fat cells acts on central receptors to control food intake and body weight homeostasis. Contrary to initial reports, leptin expression has also been detected in the human placenta, muscles, and recently, in rat gastric chief cells. Here we investigate

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract Background and Aims Reliable noninvasive biomarkers are an unmet clinical need for the diagnosis of NASH. This study investigates the diagnostic accuracy of the circulating triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (plasma TREM2) as a biomarker for NASH in patients with NAFLD and elevated liver stiffness.

Kinetics of Leptin Binding to the Q223R Leptin Receptor
PLoS ONE, 2014 Studies in human populations and mouse models of disease have linked the common leptin receptor Q223R mutation to obesity, multiple forms of cancer, adverse drug reactions, and susceptibility to enteric and respiratory infections. Contradictory results cast doubt on the phenotypic consequences of this variant.

Leptin and Leptin Receptor Expression in the Rat Ovary [PDF]
Endocrinology, 2003 Leptin is an important satiety hormone and reproductive regulator and is found, along with its receptors, throughout the ovary. To date, the changes in ovarian expression of both of these proteins throughout the estrous cycle has not been studied, and the examination of protein expression has not distinguished between different forms of the receptor ...
