Circulating leptin level, soluble leptin receptor level and their gene polymorphism in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Initial studies investigating peripheral levels of leptin and soluble leptin receptor (LepR) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients have generated a number of controversial results. Thus, we conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the circulating leptin level, soluble LepR level and related gene polymorphism in SLE patients. METHODS: We performed a meta-analysis comparing the circulating leptin...
