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.

Role of Leptin and metabolism in survival of autoreactive CD4+ T cells [PDF]
, 2009 Recent evidence has shown that leptin, the adipose-tissue derived hormone, can influence T cell homeostasis and survival through the control of genes involved in these processes. Leptin deficient ob/ob mice and humans show reduced circulating number of T

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 ...

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-

Leptin and Leptin Receptor Expression in Breast Cancer [PDF]
Cancer Research and Treatment, 2009 Leptin is a multifunctional hormone that's produced by adipose tissue and leptin is involved in the regulation of food intake and energy balance. The aims of this study were to determine the leptin and leptin receptor (Ob-R) expressions in human breast cancer and their corresponding influence on the prognosis of patients with breast cancer.We examined ...

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2009 Background Obesity has been linked to an increased risk of female infertility. Leptin, an adipocytokine which is elevated during obesity, may influence gonadal function through modulating steroidogenesis in granulosa cells.

Leptin and leptin resistance in obesity: current evidence, mechanisms and future directions
Endocrine ConnectionsLeptin, a key adipokine regulating energy homeostasis, has been extensively studied for its potential in the management of obesity. However, its therapeutic efficacy is often limited due to leptin resistance.
