The emerging role of leptin in humans.

Pediatric endocrinology reviews : PER - 1 Mar 2006

Kelesidis Theodore, Mantzoros Christos S

Abstract excerpt

Leptin is an adipocyte-secreted hormone which plays a key role in energy homeostasis. Recent advances in leptin physiology have revealed that the main role of this hormone in humans is to signal energy availability in energy-deficient states. Interventional studies in leptin deficient children and observational studies in normal girls and boys support a role for leptin as a permissive factor for the initiation of...
