Leptin concentrations in normal women following bilateral ovariectomy.
To study the relationships between gonadal steroids and leptin, 20 women with normal cycles were investigated during the postoperative period following a laparotomy. Fourteen women underwent bilateral ovariectomy plus total hysterectomy either in the mid- to late follicular phase (n = 7, group 1) or in the early to midluteal phase (n = 7, group 2). The remaining six of the 20 women underwent ch...
متن کاملInverse relationship between plasma adiponectin and leptin concentrations in normal-weight and obese women.
BACKGROUND Adiponectin, a novel adipocyte-derived collagen-like protein, is the gene product of the adipose most-abundant gene transcript 1 (apM1), which has been considered to have anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic effects. OBJECTIVE To characterize the relationship between adiponectin and leptin, the ob gene product, in normal-weight and obese women. DESIGN AND METHODS In this cross-...
متن کاملSerum leptin concentrations in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
The role of gonadotropins, androgens, and insulin in the regulation of circulating leptin levels is obscure. In order to clarify the relationships of these parameters we studied serum leptin levels in 19 healthy control subjects and in 35 hyperandrogenic and hyperinsulinemic patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Serum leptin concentrations did not differ significantly between PCOS pat...
متن کاملPlasma leptin concentrations in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is less common in obese individuals with increased bone mineral density (BMD) and plasma leptin concentrations. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between leptin levels and BMD in postmenopausal women. The study consisted of 90 postmenopausal women with a mean age of 53.45 +/- 0.87 years who visited our outpatient clinic for the evaluation of BMD. Thirty-six pos...
متن کاملBilateral Laparoscopic Ovariectomy in Standing Mares
Bilateral laparoscopic ovariectomy performed in standing mares eliminates many of the potential complications associated with traditional methods of ovariectomy. When compared with previously described techniques, the technique described here requires minimal laparoscopic instrumentation. Dissection of the ovarian pedicle prior to ligation is considered essential to ligature security. Authors’ ...
