Researchers have been trying for decades to stop the cells that damage the lung in people with pulmonary fibrosis. Now a team ...

In a recent study, scientists have introduced an innovative imaging technique that provides an unparalleled view of the bone marrow’s intricate structure, focusing on leptin receptor-expressing (LepR+ ...

The scientists measured concentrations of leptin, its soluble leptin receptor and their ratio, known as the free leptin index, indicating leptin bioavailability, using enzyme-linked immunosorbent ...

Leptin is a hormone produced by fat cells. Leptin plays a key role in regulating appetite and metabolism. When you eat, fat ...

Leptin receptor (LepR) expression varies significantly between these neuron types. AGRP/NPY neurons, when lacking LepR, lead to severe obesity, while POMC neurons without LepR show only modest ...

who have normal genes for leptin and its receptor, are leptin resistant. Despite extensive efforts in many laboratories, it remains unclear why ordinary obese people become resistant to their own ...

Leptin, a hormone synthesized primarily by adipose tissue and secreted into the circulatory system, is a purported satiety factor with receptors in the hypothalamus. Human leptin is a relatively small ...
