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 ... -
Association of sleep apnea severity and obesity with insulin resistance, C-reactive protein, and leptin levels in male patients with obstructive sleep apnea
(2008)Obesity is the major confounding factor in the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and increased risk for cardiovascular disease. The aim of the study was to investigate the association of sleep apnea severity ... -
Changes in food intake and circulating leptin due to gastrointestinal parasitism in lambs of two breeds
(2008)HA reduction in food intake is a prominent feature of many infectious diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms of parasite-induced anorexia in sheep are poorly understood. Here, we tested the hypotheses (a) that the ... -
Leptin and adiponectin responses in overweight inactive elderly following resistance training and detraining are intensity related
(2005)Context: Adiponectin and leptin are closely related to weight control and energy balance, whereas exercise affects elderly metabolic regulation and functional capacity. Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate ... -
Leptin induces the expression of functional tissue factor in human neutrophils and peripheral blood mononuclear cells through JAK2-dependent mechanisms and TNF alpha involvement
(2008)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 ... -
Leptin levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome before and after treatment with diazoxide
(1998)Leptin, a product of the ob gene, is a 16 kDa protein which is produced by adipocytes. In humans, obesity is a common finding in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The role, however, of leptin in PCOS is not clear ... -
Treatment of normal women with oestradiol plus progesterone prevents the decrease of leptin concentrations induced by ovariectomy
(2000)To study the role of oestradiol and progesterone in the secretion of leptin, 21 normally ovulating women were recruited from those scheduled for ovariectomy plus hysterectomy performed in mid-follicular phase of the cycle. ...
