But in some individuals with obesity, this signaling system seems to malfunction—a condition known as leptin resistance, where high levels of leptin fail to curb hunger. Why this resistance ...

Leptin is involved in energy homeostasis, and might represent a link between energy deficiency and amenorrhea. Puder et al., therefore, investigated the relationships between serum estrogen ...

Schäffler et al., therefore, evaluated serum levels of three adipocytokines—resistin, leptin, and adiponectin—and found that resistin and leptin have potential as markers of peripancreatic ...

Though a complex interplay of genes, diet, and environment contribute, 90% of cases share one thing in common: leptin resistance. In lean individuals, fat cells produce the hormone leptin ...

Background: Leptin could be a key regulator of C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, which serve as a marker of systemic inflammation. Both leptin and CRP are predictors of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
