The role of leptin in selected skin diseases
Lipids in Health and Disease, 2020 Leptin is an adipokine, adipocyte-derived compound, which acts both as a hormone and cytokine. It is mainly synthesized by adipocytes of white adipose tissue. Leptin possesses pleiotropic functions including, among others, stimulation of angiogenesis and

Plasma Leptin Levels, Polymorphism and Mammographic Breast Density: A Cross-sectional Study
The International Journal of Biological Markers, 2013 Obesity is associated with breast cancer in postmenopausal women, and breast density is a marker of breast cancer risk. Leptin is produced by the adipose tissue, acts through receptors that are polymorphic in nature, and is considered a cancer growth ...

Leptin receptor expression during the progression of endometrial carcinoma is correlated with estrogen and progesterone receptors [PDF]
, 2016 Introduction : The hormone leptin, which is produced in the adipose tissue, may influence tumorigenesis directly via its receptor (Ob-R). Thus, a role for Ob-R in endometrial carcinogenesis has been proposed.

Leptin and Leptin Receptor Expression in Breast Cancer [PDF]
Cancer Research and Treatment, 2009 Leptin is a multifunctional hormone that's produced by adipose tissue and leptin is involved in the regulation of food intake and energy balance. The aims of this study were to determine the leptin and leptin receptor (Ob-R) expressions in human breast cancer and their corresponding influence on the prognosis of patients with breast cancer.We examined ...

Relationships between cord blood leptin and ghrelin levels, milk intake and weight gain in human infants [PDF]
, 2003 Leptin and ghrelin are hormones involved in the regulation of appetite and adiposity. Leptin suppresses appetite and induces weight loss; ghrelin stimulates appetite and promotes weight gain.

Control of food intake via leptin receptors in the hypothalamus [PDF]
, 2000 Food intake is regulated via neural circuits located in the hypothalamus. During the past decade our knowledge on the specific mediators and neuronal networks that regulate food intake and body weight has increased dramatically. An important contribution
