Animal studies have shown that leptin mediates the association between obesity and
hypertension. However, only a few studies have assessed this relationship in population …

Objectives In this study we examined the association between leptin and blood pressure in a
population-based study of Danish and Norwegian children and adolescents. Because of the …

Background: Obesity is associated with the occurrence of hypertension; however, the
mechanisms of obesity-induced high blood pressure (BP) remain unclear. Leptin, the obese …

Objective The mechanism of the association between obesity and hypertension is not clear.
The recently discovered obese gene product, leptin, the levels of which increase in obese …

Data from animal studies clearly indicate an association between leptin and hypertension;
results of human studies are less concordant. We investigated the role of leptin in obesity …

OBJECTIVE:: To examine the associations between leptin levels and body mass index
(BMI), fat distribution (reflected by waist to hip ratio and skinfold measurements), and blood …

Leptin is an adipose tissue-derived hormone shown to be related to metabolic, inflammatory,
and hemostatic factors involved in hypertension development. Animal studies suggest that …

The results of previous studies on the relationship between leptin and blood pressure are
discordant. We investigated to what extent the serum leptin level was related to blood …

We and others have reported that serum leptin levels are positively correlated with body
mass index (BMI), blood pressure and heart rate (HR) in cross-sectional clinical studies …

We evaluated the relationship of leptin with hypertension adjusted for body mass index
(BMI) and/or waist circumference in a population of Japanese-Brazilian women aged> or …
