Since the effect of smoking on plasma leptin has been divergent in clinical trials, which might have occurred due to selection of heterogeneous study populations, we investigated whether there is such an association in a group of healthy, non-obese, young male adults. A total of 54 smokers (mean age: 21.18+/-1.62; body mass index (BMI): 19.60+/-0.85) and 26 non-smokers (mean age 21.69+/-3.0; BM...
