Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In order to maintain body weight regulation, leptin directly or indirectly signals nutritional changes to key organs, but little is known about its target genes in human adipose tissue. Leptin receptor loss of function is a unique way to explore the role of leptin in the regulation of adipose tissue. OBJECTIVE: We studied the consequences of the absence of leptin signaling on adipocyte gene expression...
