## Abstract Leptin is the __LEP__ (__ob__) gene product secreted by adipocytes. We previously reported that leptin decreases renal expression of the 25βhydroxyvitamin D~3~ 1Ξ±βhydroxylase (__CYP27B1__) gene through the leptin receptor (ObRb) by indirectly acting on the proximal tubules. This study f
The association of mRNA expression levels of leptin receptors (long isoform: Lep-R(L) and short isoform: Lep-R(S)) in breast cancer tissue with patient prognosis was studied with special reference to the serum leptin level or the leptin mRNA level in tumor tissue. Lep-R(L), Lep-R(S) and leptin mRNA
## Abstract Both central and peripheral leptin administrations reduce body weight, food intake, and adiposity in __ob/ob__ mice. In this study we compared effects of intracerebroventricular (ICV) and subcutaneous (SC) administration of leptin on bone metabolism in the appendicular and axial skeleto
## Background: Mice transgenic for growth hormone develop mesangial proliferation, glomerular hypertrophy, and progressive glomerular sclerosis suggesting that the growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor i (igf-i) pathway plays an important role. therefore, we studied the impact of variable conce
