background: the relationship between metabolism and reproduction has been always considered as an important topic in female endocrinology. it seems that leptin is one of the involved factors in infertility. leptin, in addition to regulating body weight plays an important role in regulation of endocrine, reproductive and immune systems. the aim of this stduy is to compare serum and follicular fl...

background: hormones can play a significant role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (ms). the aim of this study was to compare levels of ghrelin, leptin, and testosterone hormones of ms patients with healthy subjects, and assess the relationship between levels of peptide hormone and sex hormones in ms patients. methods: 35 ms patients with definite relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis ...

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...

To consider the correlation of serum leptin with dyslipidemia in hemodialysis patients. For maintenance hemodialysis patients levels of serum, lipid profiles and serum leptin were measured. Stable hemodialysis patients enrolled to the study. In all patients (36) a near significant,inverse correlation of serum leptin with serum LDL-C was seen. In male hemodialysis group a near significant positi...

Obesity and hypertension are two closely associated conditions and obesity probably predisposed to hypertension. The mechanism of the association between obesity and hypertension is not clear. The aim of the present study was to clarify the relationship between blood pressure (BP), body mass index (BMI), serum angiotensinII (AGII) & serum leptin levels and to investigate the relation between se...

animal studies have reported very useful properties including weight loss and improved body composition for conjugated linoleic acid (cla). however, there is limited information about the combined effect of resistance training and cla supplementation. therefore, the effect of cla supplementation and resistance training on body composition, serum leptin and muscle strength in non-athlete men was...

Introduction: Fat mass is the main predictor of the serum concentration of leptin, a 167-amino acid peptide hormone encoded by the obesity gene. There is no general agreement about other determinant factors of serum leptin, but attention has been focused on gender and sex hormones. The objective of this study was to describe gender differences in a population study and evaluate the individual c...

Abstract Leptin plays a major role in the regulation of energy intake and expenditure, triggering effects on several tissues, such as hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis. The reported leptin thyroid are controversial, being mainly explored during imbalance. Therefore, aim this study was to evaluate function rats fed ad libitum distinguishing direct responses from those mediated by leptin-depend...

AIM To determine the role of leptin system in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) development by delineating the changes in serum levels of leptin and soluble leptin receptor (sOB-R). METHODS Blood samples were collected from 30 consecutive patients with liver-biopsy-proven NAFLD and 30 patients with cholecystolithiasis (stationary phase) as controls. Serum leptin levels were determined...
