SAT-028 Leptin, Leptin Soluble Receptor and FLI in Healthy and Preeclamptic Pregnancies

Developmental variations in plasma leptin, leptin soluble receptor and their molar ratio in healthy infants

BACKGROUND Leptin and its soluble receptor (sOB-R) are important to regulation of body composition but there are no data on the developmental variations in these plasma variables and their relationship with body composition measurements, METHODS Weight, length, and body composition (bone, fat and lean mass) by dual energy absorptiometry, and plasma variables were measured in healthy infants a...

Leptin, soluble leptin receptor and leptin gene polymorphism in relation to preeclampsia risk.

Few investigators have simultaneously evaluated leptin, soluble leptin receptor (SLR) and leptin gene polymorphisms in preeclampsia cases and controls. We examined these three biomolecular markers in 40 preeclampsia cases and 39 controls. Plasma leptin and SLR concentrations were determined using immunoassays. Genotype for the tetranucleotide repeat (TTTC)(n), polymorphism in the 3 -flanking re...

Expression of leptin and leptin receptor transcript in ovine corpus luteum

Background: Leptin, the product of the obesity (ob) gene, acts as a signaling adipokine for modulating food intake, energy metabolism and reproductive functions in mammals. Leptin’s effects on the reproductive system at various levels of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis have been established. Moreover, the direct and local effect of leptin on bovine oocyte maturation and corpus luteum fu...

Detection of leptin and leptin receptor mRNA expression in the bovine t

Diurnal and ultradian dynamics of serum adiponectin in healthy men: comparison with leptin, circulating soluble leptin receptor, and cortisol patterns.

Adiponectin is an abundant serum adipokine secreted exclusively from differentiated adipocytes, which plays an important role in regulating insulin sensitivity. The dynamics of circulating adiponectin concentrations have yet to be systematically investigated. We sought to determine whether serum adiponectin levels exhibit diurnal or ultradian rhythms in healthy normal-weight men and to compare ...
