Leptin and Its Signaling Are Not Involved in Zebrafish Puberty Onset

Abstract excerpt

Leptin is a peptide hormone secreted from the adipose tissues and its signaling plays a central role in metabolic regulation of growth, especially on fat mass. In addition, leptin is also involved in regulating reproduction in mammals. In teleosts, there are two leptin ligands (lepa and lepb) and one cognate leptin receptor (lepr); however, their functions are still elusive. In this study, we created...
