Serum Immunoreactive-Leptin Concentrations in Normal-Weight and Obese Humans

1 Feb 1996

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Leptin, the product of the ob gene, is a hormone secreted by adipocytes. Animals with mutations in the ob gene are obese and lose weight when given leptin, but little is known about the physiologic actions of leptin in humans. METHODS: Using a newly developed radioimmunoassay, wer measured serum concentrations of leptin in 136 normal-weight subjects and 139 obese subjects (body-mass index, > or = 27.3...
