Recombinant human leptin (metreleptin) reduces hepatic lipid content in patients with lipodystrophy and overweight patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and relative hypoleptinemia independent of its anorexic action. In rodents, leptin signaling in the brain increases very-low-density lipo...

Deletion of the glycerol channel aquaporin-9 (Aqp9) reduces postprandial blood glucose levels in leptin receptor deficient (db/db) obese mice on a C57BL/6×C57BLKS mixed genetic background. Furthermore, shRNA mediated reduction of Aqp9 expression reduces liver triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation in a ...

Leptin, a hormone produced primarily by adipose tissue, plays a role in both energy homeostasis and reproduction, and is required in early pregnancy. Leptin stimulates metalloproteinase activity in cultured human trophoblast and stimulates invasiveness of cultured mouse trophoblast. The goal of th...

The effects of leptin-A morpholino oligonucleotides and recombinant leptin-A on embryonic zebrafish transcriptome content were evaluated using Affymetrix 1.1 ST gene array strips.

The effect of recombinant leptin (100 ng/ml) on gene expression in two human myeloma cell lines (RPMI 8226 and ANBL-6) were studied in cells incubated with and without leptin for 24 h.

We hypothesize that gene expression in the lungs of these differentially-treated mice are divergent thus contributing to the disparity in their phenotypes. More specifically, (1) Effects of Leptin-treatment of ob/ob postnatal mice lungs are known to be volume-dependent from 2 to 10 wks of age, and a...

Concentrations of leptin decline during food restriction. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that some of the effects of maternal food restriction on placental development are mediated by the loss of leptin. Mice were randomized to 3 treatment groups on day 1.5 of pregnancy: (1) ad libi...

Resistance to amebiasis is associated with a polymorphism in the leptin receptor. Previous studies demonstrated that humans with the ancestral Q223 leptin receptor allele were nearly four times less likely to be infected with Entamoeba histolytica than those carrying the mutant R223 allele. We hypot...

We have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes differentially expressed during leptin receptor deficiency, which is partly responsible for the inhibition of T cell effector functions. Mouse CD4+CD25- T cells were purified from leptin-receptor-...
