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.

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 ...

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-

Adipocyte‐Derived Leptolin Enhances Energy Expenditure and Prevents Obesity
Advanced Science, EarlyView.We identified a novel adipokine, which we named leptolin. In humans, leptolin levels in white adipose tissue were positively correlated with exercise and negatively associated with body mass index. We observed elevated leptolin in serum from athletes and lower leptolin in serum from obese individuals.
