Leptin and leptin receptor polymorphisms and recurrent pregnancy loss [PDF]
Journal of Perinatology, 2013 Leptin signaling is important in the establishment of pregnancy. We sought to determine if single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the leptin and leptin receptor genes are associated with idiopathic recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL).We conducted a case-control study with cases defined as women with idiopathic RPL and controls as parous women without ...

The Evolution of Cell Communication: The Road not Taken. [PDF]
, 2009 In the post-genomic era the complex problem of evolutionary biology can be tackled from the top-down, the bottom-up, or from the middle-out. Given the emergent and contingent nature of this process, we have chosen to take the latter approach, both as a ...

Endocrine Journal, 2017 Leptin and visfatin are implicated in breast cancer risk but studies accounting for bioavailability of leptin are sparse. Reports on the association of leptin gene (LEP) and leptin receptor gene (LEPR) polymorphisms with breast cancer are also inconsistent.

Leptin and leptin receptors during malaria infection in mice [PDF]
Folia Parasitologica, 2002 Leptin, which is involved in a range of physiological processes, could be an important factor in the pathogenesis of malaria. We found that levels of leptin in serum and urine in Plasmodium berghei-infected mice increased progressively after infection, reaching a maximum value on day 6 post-infection. Serum values were approximately five-fold higher in

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.Risperidone is a commonly used antipsychotic for treating psychiatric illness in children and adolescents. There is a large variability in risperidone response and discontinuation rates remain high. Pharmacogenomics offers the opportunity to improve risperidone outcomes, yet studies in pediatric populations are limited.
