Recent studies have suggested that circulating concentrations of leptin might play a role in
cancer cachexia. In the first part of the study, we compared circulating concentrations of free …

Animal research suggests that leptin may have an important role in the regulation of energy
balance. The role of leptin in the progressive involuntary weight loss associated with cancer …

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 and its relationship with energy metabolism in male weight-stable patients with
colorectal liver metastases (n= 14) was assessed at baseline and after 6 weeks. At baseline …

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 …

Background Serum leptin level is associated with appetite and energy expenditure in
healthy individuals. We aimed to evaluate the serum leptin concentration and the other …

Aims and Background Leptin is a protein that affects the metabolic, neuroendocrine,
reproductive and hematopoietic systems and is involved in the regulation of body weight …

The purpose of this study is to examine serum concentration of leptin and that of the soluble
form, the Ob-Re receptor, in patients with colorectal cancer, as well as to examine the level …

The aim was to investigate the serum levels of leptin, TNF‐alpha, IL‐1 beta, IL‐6, insulin,
and growth hormone in patients with upper gastrointestinal cancer and cachexia. A total of …
