Leptin-induced weight loss is not solely mediated by anorexia.
The discovery of the ob-gene product leptin in 1994 (1 –2) and the subsequent identification of grossly obese children lacking leptin (3) or its receptor (4) considerably increased the expectation of finding an effective cure for grossly obese humans. Very soon after its discovery it became evident, however, that a deficiency of leptin did not account for obesity in the large majority of patien...
متن کاملBaseline leptin levels predict change in leptin levels during weight loss in obese breast cancer survivors.
Leptin is an adipocyte-derived hormone involved in regulation of satiety, and it also appears to have a role in breast cancer risk. Leptin therefore might be a useful indicator of the potential preventive effects of weight loss in breast cancer survivors. In this study we examined whether the change in leptin levels could be predicted by weight loss in obese breast cancer survivors. The subject...
متن کاملTracking of leptin, soluble leptin receptor, and the free leptin index during weight loss and regain in children.
OBJECTIVE To investigate changes in leptin and soluble leptin receptor (SLR) concentrations, and in the free leptin index (FLI) during weight loss and subsequent weight regain; and to ascertain whether these indices remain stable in the rank of the distribution in repeated measures (tracking) during perturbations of weight in obese children. DESIGN AND MEASUREMENTS In a longitudinal study, 11...
متن کاملSerum Leptin concentration and some cardiovascular risk factors in response to aerobic exercise and weight loss diet in sedentary women
Introduction: Obesity is a complex disorder characterized by accumulation of excess adipose tissue. Discovery of the hormone Leptin is catalyzed the field of obesity research by demonstrating the existence of an afferent hormonal signal from adipose tissue to the central nervous system for regulation of body fat mass. The aim of this study was to assay serum Leptin concentration and some ...
متن کاملInternal disinhibition predicts weight regain following weight loss and weight loss maintenance.
OBJECTIVE The disinhibition scale of the Eating Inventory predicts weight loss outcome; however, it may include multiple factors. The purpose of this study was to examine the factor structure of the disinhibition scale and determine how its factors independently relate to long-term weight loss outcomes. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES Exploratory factor analysis of the disinhibition scale was...
