Genetic relationships of body composition, serum leptin, and age at puberty in gilts.

Journal of animal science - 1 Feb 2009

Kuehn L A, Nonneman D J, Klindt J M, Wise T H

Abstract excerpt

Leptin produced by adipocytes acts through leptin receptors in the hypothalamus to control appetite and food intake and thus communicates information about degree of fatness. It is thought that a degree of body fat is required for initiation of puberty and maintenance of reproductive function in mammals. The objective of this study was to determine whether polymorphisms in the leptin (LEP), leptin receptor...
