Leptin: physiological actions.

Journal of physiology and biochemistry - 1 Mar 1999

Martí A, Berraondo B, Martínez J A

Abstract excerpt

Leptin, a peptide hormone (167 aa) mainly expressed in adipocytes, and its hypothalamic receptors are integral components of a complex physiological system evolved to regulate fuel stores and energy expenditure. Thus, leptin discovery has constituted a great breakthrough in the understanding of body weight regulation and in the role of the fat tissue as an endocrine organ. Increasing scientific evidences suggest...
