Obesity currently is qualified as a worldwide health epidemic and its consequences include
diabetes mellitus as far as cardiac disease. Genetic and environmental factors contribute to …

This study investigated the effect of different exercise bouts on plasma leptin response.
Trained men (n= 9) performed a short duration, maximal intensity (MAX) bout and a 60-min …

Background: Introduction of leptin, a product of the obese gene, recently has led to
numerous experiments to better understand body weight and composition function. Based …

Leptin, a hormone synthesized by fat tissue had been noted to regulate energy balance and
metabolism and thus to influence body weight. The influence of acute exercise and chronic …

Leptin is a hormone produced by the adipocytes to regulate food intake and energy
expenditure at the hypothalamic level. It is commonly accepted that the main determinants of …

Background Leptin is a hormone associated with satiety, lipid oxidation, energy expenditure,
and energy homeostasis. To date, the current body of research examining the effect of …

Background The importance of leptin in controlling body mass has recently gained more
attention. Its levels are directly associated with the amount of fat mass, but not necessarily …

Leptin values are higher in obesity. Physical exercise reduces fat mass (FM) and decreases
leptin levels. Intensity of physical training seems to play a role in reducing circulating leptin …

OBJECTIVE: A low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet (≤ 30% of total energy intake as fat) in
conjunction with moderate intensity physical activity is widely recommended for weight …

It is established that plasma leptin is associated with satiety and that leptin stimulates lipid
metabolism, and increases energy expenditure. These effects implicate leptin as a major …
