Abstract excerpt
Background & aim: Leptin (LEP), a pro-inflammatory adipokine secreted by adipocytes acting through leptin receptor (LEPR), is critical in maintaining body weight, lipid and glucose metabolism. LEP and LEPR genetic variants are reportedly associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Among these, the LEPR rs1137101 A/G polymorphism has emerged as a potential determinant of metabolic risk. The current study investigates...
