Phenotypic effects of leptin in an ectotherm: a new tool to study the evolution of life histories and endothermy?

The Journal of experimental biology - 1 Jan 2000

Niewiarowski P H, Balk M L, Londraville R L

Abstract excerpt

Leptin is a hormone that regulates energy expenditure and body mass in mammals, and it has attracted considerable attention because of its potential in treating human obesity. Comprehensive data from both pathological and non-pathological systems strongly support a role for leptin in regulating energy metabolism, in thermoregulation and in regulating the onset of puberty. We report here that daily injections of...
