Leptin resistance in patients with chronic schizophrenia
Aim: Leptin is produced by the adipose tissue and reduces body weight by decreasing appetite and increasing metabolism. Patients treated with antipsychotics often have treatment-induced weight-gain, leading to other metabolic complications.

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.

Dietary Components in the Development of Leptin Resistance [PDF]
Classically, leptin resistance has been associated with increased body fat and circulating leptin levels, and the condition is believed to contribute to the onset and/or maintenance of obesity. Although a great deal is known about the central nervous system mechanisms mediating leptin resistance, considerably less is known about the role of diet in ...

ABSTRACT Objective To identify data‐driven body composition phenotypes in patients with moderate‐to‐extreme anorexia nervosa (AN) using machine learning (ML) clustering of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) parameters, and to test whether these phenotypes have specific psychopathological and childhood trauma profiles while correlating with early ...

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Leptin Resistance After Heart Transplantation [PDF]
Cardiac cachexia occurs in severe heart failure (HF).1,2 Heart transplantation (HTx) is associated with weight gain and the frequent development of obesity. Although this weight gain has been attributed to glucocorticoid therapy, it is more dramatic than after other solid organ transplants, despite similar steroid regimens, and also unrelated to ...

Leptin therapy, insulin sensitivity, and glucose homeostasis
Glucose homeostasis is closely regulated not only by insulin, but also by leptin. Both hormones act centrally, regulating food intake and adiposity in humans. Leptin has several effects on the glucose-insulin homeostasis, some of which are independent of

Abstract Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is characterized by a lack of a specific targeted treatment and a complex, partially unexplored pathophysiology. Common comorbidities associated with HFpEF are hypertension, atrial fibrillation, obesity and diabetes.
