Leptin
- Seasonal variations in cellular and humoral immunity in male striped hamsters (Cricetulus barabensis)
Summary: Seasonal changes in immunity, body fat, blood glucose, leptin and corticosterone and their correlations in striped hamsters.
- The leptin system and its expression at different nutritional and pregnant stages in lined seahorse (Hippocampus erectus)
Summary: This study provided insights into the function of the leptin system in energy metabolism regulation and male pregnancy in lined seahorse (Hippocampus erectus).
- Downregulation of leptin inhibits growth and induces apoptosis of lung cancer cells via the Notch and JAK/STAT3 signaling pathways
Summary: Leptin knockdown could become a new approach for the prevention of lung cancer progression, which we have shown is likely to be mediated by inactivation of the Notch and JAK/STAT3 signaling pathways.
- Aging influences steroid hormone release by mink ovaries and their response to leptin and IGF-I
Summary: Both leptin and IGF-I are involved in the control of mink ovarian steroid hormone release. Reproductive aging can be due to (a) reduction in basal progesterone release and (b) alterations in the response of estradiol but not of progesterone to leptin and IGF-I.
