Postnatal changes in concentrations of free and bound leptin.
AIM To evaluate the effect of maternal diabetes on the concentrations of free and bound leptin at birth and during postnatal adaptation. METHODS Total, bound, and free leptin concentrations and the percentage of free leptin were measured in cord plasma and plasma at 3 days of age of 13 term infants of mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and 13 term infants of healthy mothers. Ges...
متن کاملHeritability of free and receptor-bound leptin in normal twins.
Free and receptor-bound leptin may be regulated by different mechanisms. Genes that influence the concentration of these fractions may have an important functional bearing. We determined circulating leptin receptor concentrations, bound as well as free leptin concentrations, and body composition in 24 monozygotic (MZ) and in 22 dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs. Bound leptin and leptin receptor concent...
متن کاملDevelopmental changes in hypothalamic leptin receptor: relationship with the postnatal leptin surge and energy balance neuropeptides in the postnatal rat.
In the adult brain, leptin regulates energy homeostasis primarily via hypothalamic circuitry that affects food intake and energy expenditure. Evidence from rodent models has demonstrated that during early postnatal life, leptin is relatively ineffective in modulating these pathways, despite the high circulating levels and the presence of leptin receptors within the central nervous system. Furth...
متن کاملDifferentiation between free and bound leptin in depressed patients.
The relationship between leptin and affective disorders is still unknown. We measured free and bound leptin in 13 drug naïve subjects. Leptin did not significantly differ between patients and controls. As part of future studies, it also appears useful to distinguish between free and bound leptin.
متن کاملpostnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)
1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...
