Tumor necrosis factor increases serum leptin levels in humans.

چکیده
Leptin is a pleiotropic hormone believed to regulate body weight. Its function in wasting during inflammatory disease in humans is unknown. We studied the effect of repeated tumor necrosis factor (TNF) infusion on serum leptin levels in six patients with solid tumors. TNF infusion on day 1 resulted in an increase in serum leptin levels from 3.1 (SEM +/- 0.28) ng/mL to 5.2 (SEM +/- 0.6) ng/mL after 12 h (P < 0.001). The serum levels returned to baseline within 24 h. Similar results were obtained when TNF was infused on subsequent days. The study shows that leptin serum levels are under control of TNF.

Objective: Diabetes mellitus Type 2 is one of the most widespread chronic metabolic diseases. In most cases, this type of diabetes is associated with alterations in levels of some inflammatory cytokines and hormones. Considering anti-inflammatory properties of plant extracts rich in ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E), anti-diabetic properties of these two well-known anti...
متن کاملPulmonary responses to acute ozone exposure in fasted mice: effect of leptin administration.
Leptin is a satiety hormone that also has proinflammatory effects, including augmentation of ozone-induced pulmonary inflammation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether reductions in endogenous levels of leptin can attenuate pulmonary responses to ozone. To reduce serum leptin, we fasted mice overnight before ozone exposure. Fasting caused a marked reduction in serum leptin to appr...

We aimed at comparing the lipid profile and serum levels of leptin, adiponectin and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in rats with/without hyperlipidemia and with/without concomitant diabetes mellitus. Forty male 10-week old Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups. Groups A and C received standard food for 12 weeks. Groups B and D received a high-fat diet enriched with 2% additional cholesterol.
