Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids affect leptin receptor gene expression in pituitary gh4c1 cell line
2009-08-01
Abstract excerpt
Leptin (Ob) and Ob receptor (Ob-Rb) genes are expressed in human and rodent anterior pituitary, and an autocrine/paracrine loop in the production and regulation of Ob and Ob-Rb in this tissue has been suggested. As brain membranes contain large amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), and PUFA may affect the levels of leptin as well as the receptor's environment, a possible regulatory role of exogenous PUFA...
