Molecular Metabolism, 2015 Aims/hypothesis: The adipose tissue-derived hormone leptin plays an important role in the maintenance of body weight and glucose homeostasis. Leptin mediates its effects by interaction with leptin receptors (LepRb), which are highly expressed in the ...

Leptin and Notch Signaling Cooperate in Sustaining Glioblastoma Multiforme Progression
Biomolecules, 2020 Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant form of glioma, which represents one of the commonly occurring tumors of the central nervous system.

Medicina, 2022 Background and Objectives: The commissural nucleus of the tractus solitarius (cNTS) not only responds to glucose levels directly, but also receives afferent signals from the liver, and from the carotid chemoreceptors (CChR).

Algebraic study of receptor-ligand systems: a dose-response analysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The study of a receptor-ligand system generally relies on the analysis of its dose-response (or concentration-effect) curve, which quantifies the relation between ligand concentration and the biological effect (or cellular response) induced when binding its specific cell surface receptor.

Glucose enhances leptin signaling through modulation of AMPK activity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Leptin exerts its action by binding to and activating the long form of leptin receptors (LEPRb). LEPRb activates JAK2 that subsequently phosphorylates and activates STAT3.

Method for identification of condition-associated public antigen receptor sequences [PDF]
eLife 2018;7:e33050, 2017 Diverse repertoires of hypervariable immunoglobulin receptors (TCR and BCR) recognize antigens in the adaptive immune system. The development of immunoglobulin receptor repertoire sequencing methods makes it possible to perform repertoire-wide disease association studies of antigen receptor sequences.

Plasma leptin levels in pigs with different leptin and leptin receptor genotypes [PDF]
Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, 2008 SummaryA C3469T mutation at exon 3 of the pig leptin (Lep) gene has been genotyped in diverse pig breeds yielding controversial results with regard to its association with growth, fatness and carcass traits. A similar situation has been reported for a HpaII restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in the pig leptin receptor (Lepr) gene, where ...

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014 Leptin is a hormone released from adipose tissue. While this hormone normally acts to reduce feeding behavior and increase energy expenditure, in obesity, resistance to these effects occurs even though the hormone is released in large amounts. Although

Regulation of Neuromodulator Receptor Efficacy - Implications for Whole-Neuron and Synaptic Plasticity [PDF]
Progress in Neurobiology 72(6), pp 399-415, April 2004, 2004 Membrane receptors for neuromodulators (NM) are highly regulated in their distribution and efficacy - a phenomenon which influences the individual cell's response to central signals of NM release. Even though NM receptor regulation is implicated in the pharmacological action of many drugs, and is also known to be influenced by various environmental ...

Leptin receptor signaling: pathways to leptin resistance
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2011 The identification of spontaneous mutations in the leptin- and leptin receptor (ObR)-encoding ob and db gene, respectively, opened up a new field in obesity research. Leptin, an adipocyte-derived hormone, mirrors the body's fat stores and thereby informs the brain about the body's energy status.
