Regulatory T cell proliferative potential as novel marker to investigate immune tolerance and clinical progression in Multiple Sclerosis [PDF]
, 2011 In autoimmune disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS) one of the determining alteration is the breakdown of self-antigen immune-tolerance. Peripheral immune tolerance is maintained, at least in part, by Regulatory T cells (Treg).

Receptor-Mediated Transcytosis of Leptin through Human Intestinal Cells In Vitro
International Journal of Cell Biology, 2010 Gastric Leptin is absorbed by duodenal enterocytes and released on the basolateral side towards the bloodstream. We investigated in vitro some of the mechanisms of this transport.

The gingiva contains leptin and leptin receptor in health and disease
Odontology, 2011 The presence of leptin (OB) and soluble OB receptor (s-OB-R) in gingival tissue extract and gingival crevicular fluid has led the studies investigating the relationship between OB and periodontal diseases. This study aims to investigate the levels of OB and s-OB-R in serum and their presence in gingiva of healthy controls (HC), gingivitis (G ...

Relationships between cord blood leptin and ghrelin levels, milk intake and weight gain in human infants [PDF]
, 2003 Leptin and ghrelin are hormones involved in the regulation of appetite and adiposity. Leptin suppresses appetite and induces weight loss; ghrelin stimulates appetite and promotes weight gain.

Anti-melanocortin-4 receptor autoantibodies in obesity [PDF]
, 2009 Background: The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) is part of an important pathway regulating energy balance. Here we report the existence of autoantibodies (autoAbs) against the MC4R in sera of obese patients.
