Alterations of leptin during IFN-alpha therapy in patients with chronic viral hepatitis
(2006)Background/Aims: Leptin has a particular profibrogenic role in the liver. We investigated whether IFN-alpha influences leptin production in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and C (CHC). Leptin was determined in ... -
Consequences of protein supplementation for anorexia, expression of immunity and plasma leptin concentrations in parasitized ewes of two breeds
(2009)The periparturient relaxation of immunity (PPRI) against parasites in ewes has a nutritional basis. We investigated whether ewes experience a reduction in food intake (anorexia) during PPRI and if the magnitude of anorexia ... -
Effects of smoking cessation on serum leptin and adiponectin levels
(2015)Background: Evidence on the association of leptin and adiponectin and smoking is limited and discordant. Leptin and adiponectin represent the most abundant adipokines in human plasma that play crucial roles in the ... -
Growth hormone and prolactin response to ghrelin during the normal menstrual cycle
(2009)Objective It has been suggested that exogenous oestradiol augments ghrelin-induced growth hormone (GH) secretion in postmenopausal women. Whether endogenous oestrogens exert a similar effect during the normal menstrual ... -
Leptin as a critical regulator of hepatocellular carcinoma development through modulation of human telomerase reverse transcriptase
(2010)Background: Numerous epidemiological studies have documented that obesity is associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study was to investigate the biological actions regulated by leptin, the obesity ... -
Molecular pathways linking non-shivering thermogenesis and obesity: focusing on brown adipose tissue development
(2015)An increase in energy intake and/or a decrease in energy expenditure lead to fat storage, causing overweight and obesity phenotypes. The objective of this review was to analyse, for the first time using a systematic approach, ... -
A review of morphological characteristics relating to the production and reproduction of fat-tailed sheep breeds
(2011)The purpose of this study is to survey the literature pertinent to some morphological traits which are related with the production and reproduction of fat-tailed sheep breeds. The fat-tailed breeds were identified according ...
