The role of insulin receptor substrate 2 in hypothalamic and β cell function [PDF]

, 2005
Insulin receptor substrate 2 (Irs2) plays complex roles in energy homeostasis. We generated mice lacking Irs2 in β cells and a population of hypothalamic neurons (RIPCreIrs2KO), in all neurons (NesCreIrs2KO), and in proopiomelanocortin neurons ...

The glucoregulatory actions of leptin

Molecular Metabolism, 2017
Background: The hormone leptin is an important regulator of metabolic homeostasis, able to inhibit food intake and increase energy expenditure. Leptin can also independently lower blood glucose levels, particularly in hyperglycemic models of leptin or ...

Melanocortin receptors in leptin effects [PDF]

Nature, 1997
Leptin acts on the central nervous system to cause a reduction in food intake and body weight1,2. The melanocortin system in the brain is also implicated in energy homeostasis, with agonists of the melanocortin-4 (MC4) receptor reducing food intake3 and targeted mutation of the MC4 receptor causing obesity4.

Regulatory T cell proliferative potential as novel marker to investigate immune tolerance and clinical progression in Multiple Sclerosis [PDF]

, 2011
In autoimmune disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS) one of the determining alteration is the breakdown of self-antigen immune-tolerance. Peripheral immune tolerance is maintained, at least in part, by Regulatory T cells (Treg).

The physiological and pathophysiological role of leptin in neurological and behavioral disorders [PDF]

, 2023
Many factors can impact behavioral problems, including genetic, physiological, structural, and psychological factors. The genesis of behavioral disorders is influenced by several elements as a result of this complicated relationship. Because hormones are

Leptin as a critical regulator of hepatocellular carcinoma development through modulation of human telomerase reverse transcriptase

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 ...

Leptin and its cardiovascular effects: Focus on angiogenesis

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2015
Leptin is an endocrine hormone synthesized by adipocytes. It plays a key role in the energy homeostasis in central and peripheral tissues and has additional roles are attributed to it, such as the regulation of reproduction, immune function, bone ...

The role of leptin as a biochemical marker in health and disease [PDF]

, 2023
Leptin is a hormone primarily produced by adipose tissue (fat cells) and is critical in regulating energy balance and metabolism (Martinez-Sanchez 2020; Abella et al. 2017).

Effects of clozapine on adipokine secretions/productions and lipid droplets in 3T3-L1 adipocytes

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2017
Clozapine, a second-generation antipsychotic (SGA), is a cause of side effects related to metabolic syndrome. The participation of serotonin 5-HT2C and histamine H1 receptors in the central nervous system has been reported as a mechanism of the weight ...

Presence of leptin receptors in rat small intestine and leptin effect on sugar absorption [PDF]

, 1998
Leptin is involved in food intake and thermogenesis regulation. Since leptin receptor expression has been found in several tissues including small intestine, a possible role of leptin in sugar absorption by the intestine was investigated.
