## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: Leptin is a pleiotropic hormone that regulates food intake and metabolic and endocrine functions. Serum leptin levels have been reported to be increased in patients with allergic rhinitis and nasal polyposis; however, the explanation for this is unclear. We ai
## Abstract Evidence both from mice and cultured cells suggests an important role of soluble leptin receptors in obesity and leptin signaling. However, the direct effects of soluble receptors on leptin uptake by cells are not clear. This study shows that soluble leptin receptors antagonize the perm
## Abstract Obesity and its associated metabolic syndrome (MetS) are recognized risk factors for breast cancer. The molecular basis for this association remains largely unknown. Adipokines, in particular leptin and adiponectin, are thought to form part of the mechanism linking obesity with cancer t
