Current AWARENESS leptin in serum. Other mutations that do not affect secretion or do not
result in the loss of one or more epitopes might also exist; these would go undetected by …

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

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between plasma leptin and the tumor necrosis
factor-α (TNFα), TNF receptor p60 (TNF-R1) and TNF receptor p80 (TNF-R2) concentrations …

Leptin, the protein product of the ob gene, is thought to have a role in signalling satiety
through hypothalamic pathways. Glucocorticoids are potent stimulators of both ob gene …

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 …

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 …

Leptin is a protein produced by the ob–ob gene which inhibits food intake. Plasma levels
have previously been reported to be altered in obesity and anorexia nervosa (AN) but not …

Blood levels of the satiety hormone leptin are directly correlated to fat stores in obese and
lean people. Therefore, leptin resistance is the logical explanation for the phenomenon of …

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 body fat, but …

This study is an investigation of neuropsychological performance in patients with anorexia
nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder and hormonal secretion patterns for …
