Leptin is a hormone primarily produced by the adipose tissue in proportion to size of fat stores with primary function control lipid reserves,this study aimed evaluate influence hypothyroidisim on serum levels Leptin,CRP and profile,blood sample was collected from 75 women age ranged between (15-49) years 65 them had while 10 samples were healthy control, The results showed no significant diffi...

Continuous subcutaneous administration of leptin normalizes blood glucose levels in rodent models of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes independent of changes in food intake, body weight, and plasma insulin. We tested whether an acute intravenous leptin infusion changed blood glucose in normal and diet-induced leptin-resistant rats to determine whether this measure could be used as a marker of leptin s...

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...

background: to investigate the relation between serum leptin levels and cerebral infarction (ci) by meta-analysis. materials and methods: scientific literature databases were searched for studies published in chinese and english. after retrieving relevant articles through database searches and screening using predefined selection criteria, high-quality studies related to our research topic were...

background and aims: leptin is a hormone known to control appetite and body weight. the leptin levels in obese animals are always more than animals with normal size. a wide variety of methods have been offered to treat obesity of which herbal therapy is considered as one of these methods. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ethanolic extract of asian red ginseng on leptin ser...

leptin, a circulating 16-kd polypeptide consisting of 167 amino acids, appears to be involved in the body weight homeostasis. moreover leptin plays an important role for the reproductive system, early embryogenesis, and fat metabolism during pregnancy and puberty. significant correlations have been found between leptin and sexual hormones, which is a cytokine and has hormonal properties. the ai...

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 t3 a...

introduction: leptin is an adipocyte-derived hormone. exogenous leptin allows the recovery of the reproductive function. in humans, leptin correlates positively with the body mass index (bmi). the aim of this study was to investigate the association of leptin with the toxic effects of iron overload. methods: 219 major beta thalassemic patients (119 men, 100 women) and 137 non thalassemic indivi...
