Leptin signaling.

Physiology & behavior - 1 Apr 2004

Ahima Rexford S, Osei Suzette Y

Abstract excerpt

The discovery of leptin was a major breakthrough in our understanding of the role of adipose tissue as a storage and secretory organ. Leptin was initially thought to act mainly to prevent obesity; however, studies have demonstrated profound effects of leptin in the response to fasting, regulation of neuroendocrine and immune systems, hematopoiesis, bone and brain development. This review will focus on the...
