Leptin, the Product of Ob Gene, Promotes Angiogenesis

16 Nov 1998

Abstract excerpt

The adipocyte-derived cytokine leptin is thought to play a key role in the control of satiety and energy expenditure. Because adipogenesis and angiogenesis are tightly correlated during the fat mass development, we tested the hypothesis that leptin is able to modulate the growth of the vasculature. Experiments were performed using cultured human umbilical venous endothelial cells (HUVECs) and porcine aortic...
