Serum Ghrelin and Leptin Levels in Patients with Depression and the Effects of Treatment

Evaluation of Ghrelin and Leptin in Patients with Thyroid Malfunction

Introduction: Leptin and Ghrelin are hormones that have been discovered in the last decade and were shown to be involved in appetite and metabolism regulation and body weight. Thyroid hormones are also    involved in general metabolism and changes in their circulating levels bring about changes in appetite and body weight. Results of animal and human studies regarding Leptinlevel and its re...

Relationship between Serum Leptin, Ghrelin and Dietary Macronutrients in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Background Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy in women. It may involve an impairment in physiologic regulation of leptin and ghrelin. There is limited, controversial data on the relation of dietary components with leptin and ghrelin in PCOS, so the current study has been conducted to explore the effects of different macronutrients on serum levels of leptin and gh...

Serum Leptin and Ghrelin Levels in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Correlation with Anthropometric,Metabolic, and Endocrine Parameters

Effects of Zinc Supplementation on the Anthropometric Measurements, Leptin, Ghrelin and C-reactive protein in the Obese Adults with Increased Appetite and Baseline Zinc Deficiency: A Randomized Controlled Trial

 Background: Appetite is one of the main obesity-controlling factors that can be influenced by hormones, including leptin and ghrelin. This study aimed to determine the effects of zinc supplementation on the serum levels of leptin, ghrelin, C-reactive protein (CRP), and anthropometrical indices in obese individuals with increased appetite and zinc deficiency. Methods: This study was conducted a...

Effect of ICV injection of ghrelin and leptin on T3 and T4 plasma levels in Rat

Introduction: Ghrelin, increases food intake, decreases T3 and T4 concentrations and stimulates insulin release, while leptin reduces food intake and suppresses appetite. Considering the importance of thyroid hormones, ghrelin and leptin in body metabolism, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of interactions between ghrelin and leptin (injected via ICV route) and plasma T...
