An increasing body of evidence points to a central regulatory role for glucose in mediating
cellular processes and expands the role of glucose well beyond its traditional role (s) in …

The hormone leptin is secreted from white adipocytes, and serum levels of leptin correlate
with adipose tissue mass. Leptin was first described to act on the satiety center in the …

It is established that plasma leptin is associated with satiety and that leptin stimulates lipid
metabolism, and increases energy expenditure. These effects implicate leptin as a major …

Traditionally, nutrients such as glucose and amino acids have been viewed as substrates for
the generation of high-energy molecules and as precursors for the biosynthesis of …

Objective: To examine gender differences and hormonal regulation of resistin, adiponectin,
and leptin. Research Methods and Procedures: Plasma levels were measured, and mRNA …

La Insulinoresistencia se define como un estado metabólico en el cual los efectos
periféricos titulares de la insulina se encuentran disminuidos. La resistencia a la acción de …

We have previously reported that leptin is expressed in adult rat brain and pituitary gland,
though the role of leptin in these sites has not been determined. Leptin mRNA is …

The adiposity hormone leptin regulates food intake, body weight, reproduction and other
metabolic and endocrine functions mainly through signaling to the hypothalamus. Leptin …

We previously reported that a 2-day peripheral infusion of glucosamine caused leptin
resistance in rats, suggesting a role for the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) in the …

Leptin released by adipocytes has been implicated in the control of food intake but recent
detection of specific leptin receptors in the pancreas suggests that this peptide may also play …
