Abstract excerpt
The ability of leptin to improve metabolic abnormalities in models of leptin deficiency, lipodystrophy, and even type 1 diabetes is of significant interest. However, the mechanism by which leptin mediates these effects remains ill-defined. Leptin was recently reported to regulate insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-2 (IGFBP2), and adenoviral overexpression of pharmacological levels of IGFBP2 ameliorates...
