Multihormonal Control of ob Gene Expression and Leptin Secretion from Cultured Human Visceral Adipose Tissue: Increased Responsiveness to Glucocorticoids in Obesity
1998-03-01
Abstract excerpt
The direct role of hormones on leptin synthesis has not yet been studied in cultured adipose cells or tissue from lean and obese subjects. Moreover, this hormonal regulation has never been addressed in human visceral fat, although this site plays a determinant role in obesity-linked disorders. In this study, we investigated the hormonal control of ob expression and leptin production in cultured visceral adipose ti...
