through hypothalamic pathways. Glucocorticoids are potent stimulators of both ob gene …

Background In a previous study, we reported a 4-fold increase in serum leptin following total
parenteral nutrition given after surgery. We hypothesised that the perioperative fasting and …

The aim of the current study was to investigate the effects of sleep loss on the diurnal rhythm
of circulating leptin levels. An indwelling forearm catheter was used to sample blood at 90 …
