Leptin modulates T cell function and plays an important role in autoimmune diseases. Our study aimed to explore the role of leptin and T helper type 17 (Th17) cells in Hashimoto's thyroiditis patients. Twenty-seven patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and 20 healthy controls were enrolled into the current study. A modest increase of plasma leptin in HT patients and the CD4(+) T cell-deri...
In vivo and in vitro studies indicate that beta-adrenergic receptor agonists decrease leptin release from fat cells in as little as 30 min. Our objective was to determine whether alterations in leptin biosynthesis or secretion were involved in the short-term adrenergic regulation of leptin in human and rat adipose tissue. Isoproterenol (Iso) decreased leptin release from incubated adipose tissu...
Current evidence suggests that leptin reduces food intake in part by enhancing the hindbrain neuronal response to meal-related gastrointestinal signals, including cholecystokinin (CCK), but the phenotypes of the relevant cells are not known. To identify neurons that participate in this interaction in the rat nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS), we induced c-Fos gene expression in NTS neurons wi...
In obese humans, metabolism of glucocorticoids by 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11 beta-HSD1) and A-ring reduction (by 5 alpha- and 5 beta-reductases) is dysregulated in a tissue specific manner. These changes have been recapitulated in leptin resistant obese Zucker rats but were not observed in high-fat fed Wistar rats. Recent data from mouse models suggest that such discrepanci...
In human and ovine fetuses, glucocorticoids stimulate leptin secretion, although the extent to which leptin mediates the maturational effects of glucocorticoids on pulmonary development is unclear. This study investigated the effects of leptin administration on indices of lung structure and function before birth. Chronically catheterized singleton sheep fetuses were infused iv for 5 days with e...
Apolipoprotein A-IV (apo A-IV) is a satiety factor involved in the control of food intake and body weight. Our previous studies demonstrated that apo A-IV is present in areas of the hypothalamus where leptin acts to influence energy homeostasis. In the present studies, we found that leptin-deficient obese (ob/ob) mice have significantly reduced hypothalamic apo A-IV mRNA levels. Intragastric in...
PURPOSE To investigate the anti-apoptotic mechanism of leptin in non-small cell lung cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS The influences of leptin on apoptosis were investigated, analyzing the mechanism that triggers growth of A549 cells. The effects of leptin on cell proliferation were examined by XTT analysis. Leptin, C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), phosphorylated-PKR-like ER kinase (p-Perk), ino...
Obesity is associated with insulin resistance and other major cardiovascular risk factors. A common amino acid polymorphism at codon 972 of the insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) has been shown to interact with obesity in the expression of insulin resistance. The plasma concentration of the adipocyte-specific hormone leptin is increased in obesity and is correlated with adipose tissue mass. B...
Leptin plays not only an important role in regulation of food intake, but also in the mechanism of inflammation. The universal presence of leptin in the cells of immune system and its secretion by these cells caused increasing interest in the role of this hormone in ulcerative colitis (UC). We determined the role of leptin in 80 patients, aged from 18 to 69 years, including 50 patients with act...
INTRODUCTION Leptin is an adipocyte-derived cytokine primarily involved in the regulation of body weight and energy balance. In vivo studies suggest that leptin promotes platelet aggregation and thrombosis. Neutrophils are involved in the crosstalk between inflammation and thrombosis in clinical disorders. Leptin is also involved in the regulation of inflammation. AIM We examined the in vitro...
