European Journal of Medical Research, 2010 Leptin or obesity receptor (Ob-R) is a member of class I cytokine receptor family. Ob-R, expressed in six isoforms, is the product of alternative RNA splicing of db gene. According to its structural differences, the receptor's isoforms are divided into three classes: long, short, and secretory isoforms.

Leptin and leptin receptor expression in asthma [PDF]
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2009 The adipokine leptin is a potential new mediator for bronchial epithelial homeostasis. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by airway remodeling that might affect disease chronicity and severity. TGF-beta is a tissue growth factor the dysregulation of which is associated with airway remodeling.We sought to determine whether a ...

Food for Thought: Leptin and Hippocampal Synaptic Function
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 It is well documented that the endocrine hormone, leptin controls energy homeostasis by providing key signals to specific hypothalamic nuclei. However, our knowledge of leptin’s central actions has advanced considerably over the last 20 years, with the ...

Combination of Silibinin and Curcumin Reduced Leptin Receptor Expression in MCF-7 Human Breast Cancer Cell Line [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2020 Background: Leptin and leptin receptor (Ob-R) are associated with worse prognosis, distant metastasis, and poor survival of breast cancer. We investigated the cytotoxic effect of silibinin and curcumin, individually and combined, on Ob-R expression in ...

Estradiol and Estrogen Receptor Agonists Oppose Oncogenic Actions of Leptin in HepG2 Cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Obesity is a significant risk factor for certain cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Leptin, a hormone secreted by white adipose tissue, precipitates HCC development. Epidemiology data show that men have a much higher incidence of HCC than

Leptin suppresses development of GLP-1 inputs to the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus
eLife, 2020 The nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) is critical for the central integration of signals from visceral organs and contains preproglucagon (PPG) neurons, which express leptin receptors in the mouse and send direct projections to the paraventricular ...

Effects of methamphetamine on locomotor activity and thalamic gene expression in leptin-deficient obese mice [PDF]
, 2017 Leptin is an adipose-derived hormone that regulates energy balance. Leptin receptors are expressed in extrahypothalamic sites and several reports showed that leptin can influence feeding and locomotor behavior via direct actions on dopaminergic neurons ...
