background: alzheimer's disease (ad) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by accumulation of extracellular amyloid-β plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles tau protein. obesity significantly increases the risk of developing ad. leptin is a peptide hormone secreted by adipocytes. in the present study the serum levels of leptin in ad was evaluated. material and method:...

background beta-thalassemia is the most common hematology disease in human and leptin is one of the hormone that produce by adiposities cells. the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum leptin level and thyroid hormones in children with major beta-thalassemia. materials and methods this descriptive-cross sectional study was performed on 90 children aged 6-16 yea...

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...

introduction: leptin is a hormone resulting from the obesity gene which could be important in the pathogenesis of the insulin. only limited data concerning the interaction of insulin, glucose tolerance and free leptin are available and no data exist on the potential influence of free vs. bound circulating leptin. we, therefore, studied percentage of free to total leptin in diabetic patients. ma...
