Serum leptin levels are low in untreated anorexia nervosa, but studies of the exact
relationship between leptin and body weight and the impact of refeeding in anorectics are …

Leptin is a protein encoded by the ob gene that is expressed in adipocytes and regulates
eating behavior via central neuroendocrine mechanisms. Serum leptin levels have been …

Amenorrhea in female patients with anorexia nervosa is associated with low leptin secretion,
thus suggesting a causal link. In an attempt to address the hypothesis that leptin also …

In this study we hypothesized that there is a correlation between serum leptin levels and
body mass indices within pa-tients with anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa during a twelve …

Studies in rodents have shown that leptin acts in the central nervous system to modulate
food intake and energy metabolism. To evaluate the possible role of leptin in the weight loss …

OBJECTIVE Leptin, the product of the ob gene, is a recently discovered hormone secreted
by adipocytes. Serum leptin concentrations increase in correlation with the percentage of …

OBJECTIVE In rodents, leptin is involved in regulating eating behaviour, fat storage, and
reproductive function. In humans, the serum leptin concen_tration in obese and normal …

Leptin is a protein encoded by the ob gene that is expressed in adipocytes and regulates
eating behavior via neuroendocrine mechanisms. Plasma leptin levels have been shown to …

The eating disorder bulimia nervosa has been associated with impaired satiety, decreased
resting metabolic rate, and abnormal neuroendocrine regulation. Preclinical studies suggest …

Studies of the role of leptin in patients with anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa have
conflicted in their data and interpretation. Such differences may be a result of the assay …
