Effects of diabetes family history and exercise training on the expression of adiponectin and leptin and their receptors [PDF]
The daughters of patients with diabetes have reduced insulin sensitivity index (ISI) scores compared with women with no family history of diabetes, but their ISI increase more in response to exercise training(1).

Leptin receptor in boar spermatozoa [PDF]
SummaryLeptin is active in both metabolism and reproduction. In fact, it seems to exert an inhibitory action on gonadal functions by reducing testosterone production. The presence of leptin in human and boar seminal plasma and in human spermatozoa has been demonstrated; recently, leptin receptors (Ob‐R) have been localized in human spermatozoa, thus ...

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

Obesity and cancer: existing and new hypotheses for a causal connection [PDF]
Existing explanations of obesity-associated cancer emphasise direct mutagenic effects of dietary components or hormonal imbalance. Some of these hypotheses are reviewed briefly, but recent evidence suggests a major role for chronic inflammation in cancer

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 ...

Leptin regulates gonadotropins and steroid receptors in the rats ovary
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

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.
