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 ...

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.

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.

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.

The Role of the Adipokine Leptin in Immune Cell Function in Health and Disease
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Leptin is a critical mediator of the immune response to changes in overall nutrition. Leptin is produced by adipocytes in proportion to adipose tissue mass and is therefore increased in obesity. Despite having a well-described role in regulating systemic
