There are indications that PRL may exert important metabolic actions on adipose tissue in
different species. However, with the exception of birds, the receptor has not been identified …

White adipose tissue (WAT) has been examined to determine whether the gene encoding
metallothionein (MT), a low-molecular-weight stress response protein, is expressed in the …

The major leptin-containing membrane compartment was identified and characterized in rat
adipose cells by means of equilibrium density and velocity sucrose gradient centrifugation …

In this study, the immunocytochemical expression of leptin in the developing subcutaneous
tissue of human embryos at 6–10 weeks of gestation was investigated using the avidin …

Leptin's role in the regulation of food intake, energy expenditure and weight control are
widely recognized, especially in rodents. Likewise, the potential regulation of leptin …

The cloning of the ob gene and subsequent discovery of the weight‐reducing protein leptin
has revitalized research into body weight regulation and raised the possibility of effective …
