C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Leptin Receptor in Obesity: Binding of Monomeric CRP to Leptin Receptor

Role of C Reactive Protein (CRP) in Leptin Resistance

Increased plasma levels of both leptin and C reactive protein (CRP) have been reported in a number of conditions, including obesity, and have been linked to cardiovascular pathophysiological processes and increased cardiovascular risk; interestingly these two biomarkers appear to be able to reciprocally regulate their bioavailability, through complex mechanisms that have not been completely cla...

Inverse Association of Serum Leptin with Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) in Regular Hemodialysis Patients

Received:October 3, 2005 Accepted:December 20, 2005 ABSTRACT Objective: To elucidate whether and how in patients with uremia on hemodialysis the level of CRP as the marker of inflammation correlate with serum leptin. Patients and Methods: Serum leptin and CRP were determined on patients with ESRD on hemodialysis Results: The total patients were 36 (f =15, m=21). The mean patient's age were 46 (...

Expression of leptin and leptin receptor transcript in ovine corpus luteum

Background: Leptin, the product of the obesity (ob) gene, acts as a signaling adipokine for modulating food intake, energy metabolism and reproductive functions in mammals. Leptin’s effects on the reproductive system at various levels of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis have been established. Moreover, the direct and local effect of leptin on bovine oocyte maturation and corpus luteum fu...
