Expression of leptin and leptin receptors in colorectal cancer—an immunohistochemical study [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Obesity is demonstrated to be a risk factor in the development of cancers of various organs, such as colon, prostate, pancreas and so on. Leptine (LEP) is the most renowned of the adipokines.

Toward molecular neuroeconomics of obesity [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 Because obesity is a risk factor for many serious illnesses such as diabetes, better understandings of obesity and eating disorders have been attracting attention in neurobiology, psychiatry, and neuroeconomics. This paper presents future study directions by unifying (i) economic theory of addiction and obesity (Becker and Murphy, 1988; Levy 2002 ...

BMC Cancer, 2010 Background Numerous epidemiological studies have documented that obesity is associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study was to investigate the biological actions regulated by leptin, the obesity biomarker molecule, and its ...

An amenable, radical Banach algebra [PDF]
arXiv, 2002 We give an example of an amenable, radical Banach algebra, relying on results from non-abelian harmonic analysis due to H. Leptin, D. Poguntke and J. Boidol.

The gingiva contains leptin and leptin receptor in health and disease
Odontology, 2011 The presence of leptin (OB) and soluble OB receptor (s-OB-R) in gingival tissue extract and gingival crevicular fluid has led the studies investigating the relationship between OB and periodontal diseases. This study aims to investigate the levels of OB and s-OB-R in serum and their presence in gingiva of healthy controls (HC), gingivitis (G ...

Amenability notions of hypergroups and some applications to locally compact groups [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Different notions of amenability on hypergroups and their relations are studied. Developing Leptin's theorem for discrete hypergroups, we characterize the existence of a bounded approximate identity for hypergroup Fourier algebras. We study the Leptin condition for discrete hypergroups derived from the representation theory of some classes of compact ...

Detection in Molecular Communications with Ligand Receptors under Molecular Interference [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Molecular Communications (MC) is a bio-inspired communication technique that uses molecules to transfer information among bio-nano devices. In this paper, we focus on the detection problem for biological MC receivers employing ligand receptors to infer the transmitted messages encoded into the concentration of molecules, i.e., ligands.

Modulation of Direct Leptin Signaling by Soluble Leptin Receptor [PDF]
Molecular Endocrinology, 2004 Soluble leptin receptor (SLR) represents the major leptin binding activity in plasma. It is generated by alternative splicing of OB-R mRNA (OB-Re) and/or ectodomain shedding of membrane-spanning receptors. To determine the role of SLR in leptin activation of its long-form receptor, OB-Rb, we established in vitro assays using a cell line stably ...

eLife, 2020 Whether leptin acts in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) to increase sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) is unclear, since PVN leptin receptors (LepR) are sparse.

Presence and distribution of leptin and leptin receptor in the canine gallbladder
Acta Histochemica, 2016 The hormone leptin is produced by mature adipocytes and plays an important role in regulating food intake and energy metabolism through its interaction with the leptin receptor. In addition to roles in obesity and obesity-related diseases, leptin has been reported to affect the components and secretion of bile in leptin-deficient mice.
