Leptin concentrations, leptin receptor polymorphisms, and colorectal adenoma risk.
Obesity has been shown to be associated with an increased risk of both colorectal cancer and adenomatous polyps. One mechanism underlying this relationship may involve the growth-promoting effects of the circulating hormones associated with obesity, such as leptin. We conducted a gastroenterology clinic-based, case-control study to evaluate the relationship between circulating leptin concentrat...
متن کاملLeptin, soluble leptin receptor and leptin gene polymorphism in relation to preeclampsia risk.
Few investigators have simultaneously evaluated leptin, soluble leptin receptor (SLR) and leptin gene polymorphisms in preeclampsia cases and controls. We examined these three biomolecular markers in 40 preeclampsia cases and 39 controls. Plasma leptin and SLR concentrations were determined using immunoassays. Genotype for the tetranucleotide repeat (TTTC)(n), polymorphism in the 3 -flanking re...
متن کاملEvaluation of Ghrelin and Leptin in Patients with Thyroid Malfunction
Introduction: Leptin and Ghrelin are hormones that have been discovered in the last decade and were shown to be involved in appetite and metabolism regulation and body weight. Thyroid hormones are also involved in general metabolism and changes in their circulating levels bring about changes in appetite and body weight. Results of animal and human studies regarding Leptinlevel and its re...
متن کاملthe association of polymorphisms in leptin/leptin receptor genes and ghrelin/ghrelin receptor genes with overweight/obesity and the related metabolic disturbances: a review
conclusions in general, our study suggests that the association between lep/lepr and ghrl/ghsr with overweight/obesity and the related metabolic disturbances is inconclusive. these results may be due to unidentified gene-environment interactions. more investigations are needed to further clarify this association. results the most prevalent leptin/leptin receptor genes (lep/lepr) and ghrelin/ghr...
متن کاملGhrelin and Leptin in Fasting
Animals and humans when exposed to conditions of energy deficit make compensatory changes in the efficiency of energy utilization and activity to conserve energy for essential functions, thereby maintaining homeostasis. The decrease in whole body energy expenditure stems from changes in metabolism at the cellular level. Cellular metabolism is modified in response to activation of neural and hor...
