Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Graphical summary of obesity‐induced NASH progression by LCN2 targeted to HSC activation. Abstract Background and Aims In obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, leptin promotes insulin resistance and contributes to the progression of NASH via activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs).

Leptin receptor action and mechanisms of leptin resistance [PDF]
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2005 The adipose tissue-derived hormone leptin regulates energy balance and neuroendocrine function. Resistance to the appetite-suppressing effects of leptin is associated with common forms of obesity. Here, we review the mechanisms by which leptin activates intracellular signals and the roles that these signals play in leptin action in vivo.

Postnatal growth after intrauterine growth restriction alters central leptin signal and energy homeostasis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is closely linked with metabolic diseases, appetite disorders and obesity at adulthood. Leptin, a major adipokine secreted by adipose tissue, circulates in direct proportion to body fat stores, enters the brain and ...

Adiponectin, in contrast to leptin, is not associated with body mass index, waist circumference and HOMA-IR in subjects of a west-African population [PDF]
, 2018 Factors associated with plasma levels of adiponectin and leptin were studied in adult subjects without diabetes from Cotonou in Benin (West‐Africa). Seventy (70) men and 45 women were included in the study.

The Bidirectional Relationship Between Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Metabolic Disease [PDF]
, 2018 Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder, effecting 17% of the total population and 40–70% of the obese population (1, 2). Multiple studies have identified OSA as a critical risk factor for the development of obesity, diabetes, and ...

Physiological leptin resistance [PDF]
Medycyna Weterynaryjna, 2016 Leptin is an adipose tissue-derived hormone whose circulating levels correlate with the amount of body fat stores. The main function of this adipokine is to regulate energy metabolism. By modulating the expression of orexigenic and anorexigenic neuropeptides in the hypothalamus, leptin reduces appetite.

Effects of physical exercise on adiponectin, leptin, and inflammatory markers in childhood obesity: systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
, 2018 Background: New findings on adipose tissue physiology and obesity-Associated inflammation status suggest that modification of the adipokine level can be relevant for the long-Term prevention of obesity-Associated chronic disease. Objectives: The scope of

Concordance of bioactive vs. total immunoreactive serum leptin levels in children with severe early onset obesity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Leptin secreted from adipose tissue signals peripheral energy status to the brain. Monogenic leptin deficiency results in severe early onset obesity with hyperphagia.
