Leptin and Leptin Receptor Expression in the Rat Ovary

Detection of leptin and leptin receptor mRNA expression in the bovine t

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...

Leptin receptor mRNA expression in Taleshi ram gonads

Leptin is secreted mainly by fat, which is involved in energy metabolism and reproduction. Leptin and itsreceptor (Ob-R) have been detected in human spermatozoa and testis, thus it can be concluded leptin involves in male physiology. The goal of this study was determination of the presence of leptin receptor mRNA in the ram testis, epididymis and spermatozoa by reverse transcription polymerase ...

O-46: The Expression of Leptin and Its Receptorduring Different Physiological Stages in theBovine Ovary

Background: Leptin, the hormonal product of the obese (ob) gene, circulates in the blood at levels paralleling those of fat reserves and regulates satiety. In cattle, leptin has also been implicated in the control of ovarian function, but its local production in the ovary and role in the control of ovarian function in autocrine/paracrine manner is unknown. The aims of this study were to documen...

Assessing the Association Between Fennel (Foeniculum Vulgare) Extract and Serum Lipid Profile and Leptin Receptor Expression

Introduction:Obesity is one of the most serious challenges of our era, with significant health consequences and high economic burden for health systems. Therefore, many countries have developed political agendas to cope with this ever-rising challenge. Along with chemical medications that are developed to manage obesity, researchers have focused on some natural ingredients and herbal extracts w...
