Leptin is a pleiotropic hormone that plays a critical role in regulating appetite, energy
metabolism, growth, stress, and immune function across vertebrate groups. In mammals, it …

All organisms face tradeoffs with regard to how limited energy resources should be invested.
When is it most favorable to grow, to reproduce, how much lipid should be allocated to …

The present study reports the complete coding sequences for two paralogues for leptin
(sLepA1 and sLepA2) and leptin receptor (sLepR) in Atlantic salmon. The deduced 171 …

We comprehensively surveyed leptin (LEP) and leptin receptor (LEPR) genes in medaka,
Oryzias latipes and identified two LEP (mLEP-A and mLEP-B) genes and one LEPR …

Leptin is a pleiotropic hormone and plays a key role in body weight regulation, energy
homeostasis and lipid store utilization in mammals. In this study, we investigated the effect of …

Leptin is a hormone involved in feeding and body weight regulation in vertebrates, but the
relationship between energy status and leptin has not been clearly established in fish. The …

Leptin plays key roles in body weight regulation, energy metabolism, food intake,
reproduction and immunity in mammals. However, its function in teleosts is still unclear. In …

Interactions of leptin and leptin receptors play crucial roles during animal development and
regulation of appetite and energy balance. In this study we analyzed expression pattern of a …

In recent years, the marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma), also known as the Indian medaka
or brackish medaka, has been recognized as a model fish species for ecotoxicology and …

Appetite suppression is a common response to hypoxia in fish that confers significant energy
savings. Yet little is known about the endocrine signals involved in the regulation of food …
