Regulation of circulating soluble leptin receptor levels by gender, adiposity, sex steroids, and leptin: observational and interventional studies in humans.
Leptin is an adipocyte-secreted hormone important in energy homeostasis and diverse physiological processes. A circulating soluble form of the leptin receptor [soluble leptin receptor (sOB-R)] is the main leptin-binding protein and determinant of free leptin index (FLI), the presumed biologically active form of leptin. We performed observational and interventional studies to elucidate the regul...
متن کاملassociation of serum soluble leptin receptor and leptin levels with breast cancer
background: leptin plays a key role in the regulation of energy expenditure and is known to circulate in both free and bound forms. soluble leptin receptor (sob-r) is a unique circulating form of leptin receptor that can bind to leptin. leptin and leptin receptor have been implicated in processes leading to breast cancer initiation and progression. our study was aimed to investigate the relatio...
متن کاملSoluble leptin receptor levels in patients with chronic renal failure.
Soluble leptin receptor (SLR) is the extracellular part of the leptin receptor. This protein is released into circulation and constitutes the main circulating leptin-binding protein. The aim of our study was to measure SLR concentrations in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) and healthy subjects and to explore the relationship of SLR to other hormones and cytokines. The patients with CRF...
متن کاملCirculating levels of interleukin-6 and its soluble receptor in patients with head injury and fracture.
There is evidence that fractures heal more rapidly in patients with head injury. We measured the circulating level of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and its soluble receptor (sIL-6R) and soluble glycoprotein 130 (sgp130) in serum from patients who had sustained a head injury with and without fracture and compared these with levels found in control subjects. Within 12 hours of injury the serum level of IL...
