Relationships Between Serum Leptin and Bone Mineral with Eating Restraint or Weight Loss
… diet composition, and the satiety hormone, leptin, produced by adipocytes, are associated with body mass and may also influence bone mass. Few studies have examined these relationships. To investigate the relationship between leptin and CER score, 36 premenopausal, healthy weight women, as …

Diet, Body Fat Distribution, and Serum Leptin in Young Men with Undiagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
… dietary status, body fat distribution and leptin in overweight young men with and without OSAS in comparison to published values for normal weight counterparts. Methods: Groups were comprised of 24 sedentary overweight young men with and without OSAS, who had a body mass index (BMI) greater …

The effects of obesity and surgically-induced weight loss on exercise ventilation: influence of central adiposity and serum leptin
… adults by altering normal ventilatory mechanics. Leptin, an inflammatory adipocytokine, is elevated in obesity and has been shown to alter ventilatory responses to exercise. Leptin’s bioavailability appears to be regulated by its soluble receptor (LRe), which is reduced in obesity. Roux-en-Y …

Significance of leptin and ghrelin in systemic lupus erythematosus in Koreans
BACKGROUND: There have been evidence that leptin and ghrelin play an important role in metabolism, inflammation and autoimmunity. Elevated serum leptin levels have been described in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), however there were no information about serum leptin and ghrelin …

Effects of photoperiod on weight maintenance in adult neutered male cats
… food intake required to maintain BW, and fasting serum leptin and ghrelin concentrations in adult cats. Eleven healthy, adult, neutered, male domestic shorthair cats were used in a randomized crossover design study. During two 12-wk periods, cats were exposed to either a short day (SD) photoperiod …

Immune Response in Young Men to the 2014/15 Seasonal Influenza Vaccine
… was drawn pre and four weeks post vaccination. Serum samples were analyzed for changes in antibody titers, serum leptin, soluble leptin receptors (sLEPR) and C-reactive protein (CRP). No differences in median percent body fat, leptin, sLEPR or CRP were associated with seroconversion rates. …

HORMONE AND FLAVONOL REGULATION OF MAMMALIAN METABOLIC SIGNALING PATHWAYS
… including insensitivity to insulin and leptin. Research in this dissertation investigated how gender, weight loss, and diet components affected signaling pathways that are dysregulated in obesity and T2DM. Chapter II examined the effects of weight loss on secretion of adipokines in an …

Adiponectin deficiency leads to hepatic steatosis and contributes to the development of gestational diabetes mellitus
… development of GDM. In addition, low levels of serum adiponectin are associated with increased risk for GDM. Adiponectin is an adipose tissue derived cytokine that improves systemic insulin sensitivity. Since adiponectin has a role in hepatic lipid metabolism, we hypothesize that adiponectin …

Alteration of bone metabolism in OLETF rat
… DM influences bone metabolism and Neuropeptides-leptin and NPY2 receptor’s in hypothalamic control bone formation with osteoblast activity. We tried to distinct alteration of bone metabolism in OLETF rat from 8wks to 52wks. Animals and treatment: Serum samples were collected in eleven male OLETF …

Relationships between body mass index, appetite regulation and physical activity during shift-work and night-work
… concentrations of acylated ghrelin and leptin during a night-shift are increased by prior evening exercise. However, hunger during the night-shift was unaffected by prior evening exercise in this study. In the subsequent experiment involving one large meal, nocturnal concentration of …

Effets d'une immunomodulation de la leptine et de la cholécystokinine chez le rat en croissance
… (CCK) and the adipose tissue-produced leptin are known as satiety hormones. Their interaction induces long- and short-terms effects. The aim of this study is to examine the zootechnical and endocrinal effects of an active immunomodulation of both CCK and leptin. Three experiments are …

Altering Muscle Hypertrophy and Fat Accumulation in Myostatin Null Mice
… compared with wild type mice. Liver fat content, serum triglycerides and serum leptin levels were lower in high-fat fed myostatin null mice than similarly fed wild type mice. Glucose tolerance, however, was altered in both genotypes by high-fat feeding and did not show an improvement in myostatin …

The physiological significance of insemination in programming pregnancy outcome
… of seminal plasma also displayed alterations in serum leptin and adiponectin content, similar to those known to be associated with obesity in the mouse. Using embryo transfer experiments, we showed that some, but not all aspects of the perturbed postnatal development are recapitulated when …

The Effects of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome on Cardiovascular Function with Exercise Testing in Young Adult Males
… a secondary aim to evaluate if variations in serum leptin concentration might exert a regulatory in ventilatory responses during exercise; 2) To evaluate whether autonomic control of the cardiovascular response during exercise is distorted by OSAS in young overweight men, as manifested by a …

Immunological and behavioral consequences of high-fat diet feeding in mice
… previously shown and demonstrate here that basal serum leptin and IL-1RA concentrations are increased in mice fed HFD for 12 weeks compared to mice fed LFD. Leptin has been associated with modulation of motivation to obtain reward and anti-depressant activity, and IL-1RA has been implicated in the …

Factors Regulating the Intrarenal Renin-Angiotensin System and Renal Damage During Aging
… F344 rats prevented the age-related increase in serum leptin, insulin, glucose, body weight and increased excretion of Ang peptides and protein that occur independently of blood pressure or plasma RAS peptides. F344 rats also have increased gene expression of brain (dorsomedial medulla) …

Effects of diet on body weight, body composition, metabolic status, and physical activity of adult female dogs after spay surgery
… than COSH or COSP dogs, and HP-HF-O dogs had serum ALP concentrations lower (p<0.05) than COSP dogs. During this time, HP-HF and HP-HF-O dogs had a greater (p<0.05) reduction in WBC and neutrophils than COSP dogs. During the second 12 wk, dogs fed HP-HF or HP-HF-O ate more (p<0.01) food (g/d) …

The effect of overfeeding and obesity on canine adipose tissue and skeletal muscle transcriptomes
… body weight, body fat mass, adipocyte size and serum leptin concentrations. Microarrays displayed 1,665 differentially expressed genes in adipose tissue over time in the ad libitum fed dogs. Alterations were observed in many homeostatic processes including metabolism, oxidative stress, …
