Previous studies of the relationship between plasma leptin and energy usage have yielded
contradictory findings. The present study was therefore conducted to clearly distinguish and …

Recent research suggests that leptin may control body weight by regulating energy
expenditure and energy intake in mice. To explore the possible role of leptin in the …

Leptin plays a vital role in the regulation of energy balance in rodent models of obesity.
However, less information is available about its homeostatic role in humans. The aim of this …

While plasma leptin and adiposity have been found to be strongly related, the specific nature
of this relationship has yet to be clarified. Hence, plasma leptin and three indicators of …

Body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), body fat, se-rum leptin concentration and resting
energy expenditure (REE) were fitted in a multiple linear regression model in a group of …

Energy expenditure in ob/ob mice kept at thermoneutrality was quantified from food intake
and body composition of mice treated with leptin over 15 and 75 days, respectively. Energy …

Increasing evidence from human studies suggests that leptin predominantly influences the
human energy balance through appetite but appears not to be involved in regulating energy …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate possible relationships between leptin and energy expenditure
(EE), both in the condition of stable body weight and during weight loss. SUBJECTS …

Circulating concentrations of leptin are closely correlated with body fat mass, and may thus
constitute an afferent limb of a system regulating body fatness, with efferent limbs that affect …
