Leptin Replacement Improves Cognitive Development
BACKGROUND Leptin changes brain structure, neuron excitability and synaptic plasticity. It also regulates the development and function of feeding circuits. However, the effects of leptin on neurocognitive development are unknown. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of leptin on neurocognitive development. METHODOLOGY A 5-year-old boy with a nonconservative missense leptin gene mutation (Cys-to...
متن کاملCongenital leptin deficiency: diagnosis and effects of leptin replacement therapy.
To describe our 10-year experience in treating leptin-deficient humans. Three adults and one boy presented with childhood-onset morbid obesity, hypogonadism and family history of obesity and early death. Serum leptin was inappropriately low. A recessive C105T leptin gene mutation was identified. Metabolic and endocrine assessments were conducted, before and while on and off leptin. The adults' ...

متن کاملCyclic estrogen replacement improves cognitive function in aged ovariectomized rhesus monkeys.
Among the identified risks and benefits of hormone-replacement therapy, the effects of treatment on cognitive function in postmenopausal women have proved difficult to define. Here we conducted a controlled, prospective analysis in a nonhuman primate model to test whether surgical menopause and estrogen replacement influence the cognitive outcome of normal aging. Sixteen aged rhesus monkeys wer...
