BackgroundAlthough several types of risk factors for anorexia nervosa (AN) have been
identified, including birth-related factors, somatic, and psychosocial risk factors, their …

INTRODUCTION: In food-restricted rats, leptin as well as corticotropin releasing factor
attenuate semistarvation-induced hyperactivity (SIH). Results from studies in patients with …

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in leptin (LEP) and leptin receptor (LEPR) have
been shown to be linked to obesity-related metabolic markers and phenotype. Therefore, we …

Background and purpose: Leptin predicts cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes,
diseases to which Asian Indians are highly susceptible. As a risk marker, leptin's intra …

Background: Leptin has been considered a starvation hormone, but its role in malnourished
patients is unknown. Objective: We aimed to characterize the role of leptin in metabolic …

Serum leptin levels are low in untreated anorexia nervosa, but studies of the exact
relationship between leptin and body weight and the impact of refeeding in anorectics are …

Leptin influences food intake by informing the brain about the status of body fat stores. Rare
LEP mutations associated with congenital leptin deficiency cause severe early-onset obesity …

Circulating leptin concentrations are known to be low in acute anorexia nervosa (AN), which
is characterized by low weight, amenorrhea and specific psychopathological features. In this …

Weight regain in subjects with anorexia nervosa is associated with an increase in serum
leptin concentrations that is hypothesized to impair full weight restoration. As diets rich in n-3 …

Hyperactivity in anorexia nervosa (AN) is associated with low plasma leptin levels and
negatively impacts on disease outcome. Using an animal model that mimics features of AN …
