Leptin, the protein product of the obese (ob or Lep) gene, is a hormone synthesized by
adipocytes that signals available energy reserves to the brain, and thereby influences …

To achieve energy balance and maintain a constant BW, changes in feed intake and energy
expenditure must be coordinated and tightly regulated. This may not hold true for some …

The production of peptide hormones by skeletal muscle tissue is a promising area of gene
therapy. Skeletal muscle myogenesis can be induced in vitro, resulting in the fusion of …

Leptin is an adipocyte-derived hormone/cytokine that links nutritional status with
neuroendocrine and immune functions. Initially described as an anti-obesity hormone, leptin …

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 …

More than 20 years after characterization of the key regulator of mammalian energy balance,
leptin, we identified the leptin (LEP) genes of chicken (Gallus gallus) and duck (Anas …

Leptin is well known as a hormone important in the central control of appetitive behaviors via
receptor‐mediated actions in the hypothalamus, where leptin adjusts food intake to maintain …

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 …

Leptin, the protein product of the obese (ob) gene, is a type-I cytokine hormone secreted by
fat that is integral to food intake regulation and influences almost every physiological system …

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 …
