Increased visceral adipose tissue results in elevated plasma leptin, which are associated
with increased risk of a number of obesity-related cancers. However, research is …

Leptin is involved in many biological processes that implicate it in the development of
colorectal cancer. This Viewpoint discusses the biological plausibility of a relationship …

Leptin is a recently identified hormone produced by the adipocyte ob gene which acts as a
negative feedback signal critical to the normal control of food intake and body weight. A …

Leptin is a hormone produced and secreted by adipose tissue. It is a member of adipokine
family with a principal role in body weight regulation. It is reported that low brain leptin levels …

Background: The relationship between the expression of leptin in the tissue of gastric cancer
and the clinicopathological features as well as patients' outcome were investigated …

Purpose Leptin is encoded by the ob gene and is involved in the control of food intake and
energy expenditure. Recent studies have implicated leptin expression to be an indicator of …

Background: Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease complications may reflect imbalances
between protective and injurious factors. Through its effects on cell growth, leptin may …

1. Adipocyte-derived leptin is postulated to represent the afferent hormonal signal to the
hypothalamus in a feedback mechanism that regulates fat mass. In this proposed feedback …

Leptin is an anorexia inductor peptide produced by adipocytes and related to fat mass.
Leptin is also produced by fat under proinflammatory cytokine action. Our objective is to …

Obesity, a risk factor for colorectal cancer, is associated with elevated serum levels of leptin,
the adipocyte‐derived hormone, and insulin. Experimental and epidemiologic studies have …
