Expression of leptin (Ob) and leptin receptor (Ob-R) in human fibroblasts: regulation of leptin secretion by insulin.
Leptin, a hormone of the cytokine family, is mainly synthesized by white adipocytes. As fibroblasts and adipocytes share a common stem cell origin, we hypothesized that connective tissue may be another candidate for leptin synthesis. We demonstrated leptin receptors, inclusive of all isoforms, on cultured fibroblasts (n = 13) by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. In contrast to its receptor, basa...
متن کاملEnhanced expression of leptin and leptin receptor (OB-R) in human breast cancer.
PURPOSE To evaluate leptin and leptin receptor (OB-R) expression in human breast cancer and determine whether it could be effective for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Immunohistochemical staining using specific antibodies was used to evaluate the protein expression of leptin and OB-R in 76 invasive ductal carcinomas and 32 samples of corresponding normal ma...
متن کاملLeptin increases striatal dopamine D2 receptor binding in leptin-deficient obese (ob/ob) mice.
Peripheral and central leptin administration have been shown to mediate central dopamine (DA) signaling. Leptin-receptor deficient rodents show decreased DA D2 receptor (D2R) binding in striatum and unique DA profiles compared to controls. Leptin-deficient mice show increased DA activity in reward-related brain regions. The objective of this study was to examine whether basal D2R-binding differ...
متن کاملLeptin receptor mRNA expression in Taleshi ram gonads
Leptin is secreted mainly by fat, which is involved in energy metabolism and reproduction. Leptin and itsreceptor (Ob-R) have been detected in human spermatozoa and testis, thus it can be concluded leptin involves in male physiology. The goal of this study was determination of the presence of leptin receptor mRNA in the ram testis, epididymis and spermatozoa by reverse transcription polymerase ...
متن کاملIntrinsic factor receptor during fetal development of the human intestine.
Intrinsic factor receptor activity was observed in mucosal homogenates from whole small intestine and colon of 10-19-week fetuses, whereas it was only detected in the distal part of the small intestine of a 25-week fetus. The receptor-intrinsic factor-cobalamin complex was eluted into the void-volume position when ileum mucosal extract was assayed for receptor activity by gel filtration after i...
