Establishment of Leptin-Responsive Cell Lines from Adult Mouse Hypothalamus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Leptin resistance is considered to be the primary cause of obesity. However, the cause of leptin resistance remains incompletely understood, and there is currently no cure for the leptin-resistant state.

The Leptin System and Diet: A Mini Review of the Current Evidence

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Leptin promotes satiety and modulates energy balance and weight. Diet-induced obesity leads to leptin resistance, exacerbating overeating. We reviewed the literature on the relationship between diet and leptin, which suggests that addressing leptin ...

Leptin resensitisation: a reversion of leptin-resistant states [PDF]

Journal of Endocrinology, 2019
Leptin resistance refers to states in which leptin fails to promote its anticipated effects, frequently coexisting with hyperleptinaemia. Leptin resistance is closely associated with obesity and also observed in physiological situations such as pregnancy and in seasonal animals.

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 ...

Leptin mediates the increase in blood pressure associated with obesity [PDF]

, 2014
Obesity is associated with increased blood pressure (BP), which in turn increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. We found that the increase in leptin levels seen in diet-induced obesity (DIO) drives an increase in BP in rodents, an effect that was ...

Lipocalin‐2 activates hepatic stellate cells and promotes nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in high‐fat diet–fed Ob/Ob mice

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).

Recent evidence in support of traditional chinese medicine to restore normal leptin function in simple obesity

Heliyon, 2022
Reducing the incidence of obesity is the focus of global attention, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) may play an important role in achieving this goal. Numerous studies have shown that most individuals with obesity have leptin resistance, exogenous

Obesity and the ageing brain : could leptin play a role in neurodegeneration? [PDF]

, 2011
Obesity and ageing are both characteristics of the human population that are on the increase across the globe. It has long been established that ageing is the major risk factor for neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, and it is ...

Acute leptin deficiency, leptin resistance, and the physiologic response to leptin withdrawal [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2005
Food restriction and weight loss result in reduced plasma leptin, which is associated with a pleiotropic biologic response. However, because weight loss itself is also associated with changes in numerous other humoral and metabolic signals, it can be difficult to determine the precise features of the biologic response to acute leptin deficiency.

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.
