Leptin regulates gonadotropins and steroid receptors in the rats ovary [PDF]
The leptin hormone is important to satiety and an important link between the nutritional status and reproductive processes. Owing to the contradictory effects of leptin on the ovary and the failure to clarify the precise mechanism by which leptin affects

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

Leptin and Pro-Inflammatory Stimuli Synergistically Upregulate MMP-1 and MMP-3 Secretion in Human Gingival Fibroblasts [PDF]
Introduction Gingival fibroblast-mediated extracellular matrix remodelling is implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontitis, yet the stimuli that regulate this response are not fully understood. The immunoregulatory adipokine leptin is detectable in

Mutations in the Human Leptin and Leptin Receptor Genes as Models of Serum Leptin Receptor Regulation [PDF]
A part of serum Ob leptin, an adipocyte-secreted peptide, is bound to a soluble Ob receptor (sObR). Immunoreactive sObR was measured in 125 lean or obese control subjects (group 1), 18 individuals with a mutation in the leptin gene impairing leptin secretion (group 2), and 10 individuals with a mutation in the ObR gene, leading to production of a ...

In vivo and ex vivo regulation of visfatin production by leptin in human and murine adipose tissue : role of mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling pathways [PDF]
Visfatin is an adipogenic adipokine with increased levels in obesity, properties common to leptin. Thus, leptin may modulate visfatin production in adipose tissue (AT).

PATHOGENETIC MECHANISMS OF LEPTIN RESISTANCE
Leptin is a regulatory protein from adipokines family, that maintain energy homeostasis of the body and deter obesity development. Impaired transfer of leptin signals to hypothalamus leads to leptin resistance and its adverse complications. Understanding

Gender dimorphism in skeletal muscle leptin receptors, serum leptin and insulin sensitivity. [PDF]
To determine if there is a gender dimorphism in the expression of leptin receptors (OB-R170, OB-R128 and OB-R98) and the protein suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) in human skeletal muscle, the protein expression of OB-R, perilipin A, SOCS3 and ...

The role of leptin resistance in the development of thyroid neoplasia
Background. Leptin influences energy metabolism, as it is able to inform the central nervous system about adipose tissue reserves, and is also an important neuroendocrine regulator.

Role of leptin and leptin receptor in inflammation
on october 30th, 2002, the World Health Report by the World Health Organization was launched subtitled Reducing risks, promoting healthy life . Many of the health risks discussed in this report concern food consumption—either too little, in the case of the poor, or too much, in the case of ...
