Background Polypeptide hormone Leptin suppresses inflammation in the heart muscle and protects heart from diseases. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between leptin and troponin serum levels with cardiac involvement in patients with major beta thalassemia. Materials and Methods In this cross-sectional study, 70 children with major thalassemia were selected. Two ml bl...

objective: exercise activity could be an amendment to polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos). however the acute and chronic effects of various exercise intensities on serum leptin levels are ambiguous. this study investigates the acute and chronic responses of various intensities of exercise on serum leptin levels and weights of female rats with pcos. methods: in this semi-empirical study, 80 adult w...

background: bladder cancer (bc) is the most common genitourinary cancer in iranians with an unclear etiopathogenesis. long stress induced non-coding transcript 5 is a member of the 12-member family of long non-coding rnas, which is abundantly expressed in higher proliferative cells, as well as the cell vulnerable to cellular stress in response to chemical carcinogens. as variations in long non-...

Bir tokluk hormonu olarak bilinen leptin, vücut ağırlığı kontrolünü koordine eden ve adipositler tarafından üretilen bir hormondur. Bu çalışma, Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi Araştırma Uygulama Çiftliğinde yetiştirilen Norduz Tahirova koyun ırklarında bazı vitaminler biyokimyasal parametrelerin seviyelerini aralarında korelasyonların saptanması amacıyla yapıldı. Çalışmada aynı bakım besleme şartların...

objectives: leptin is a hormone-like protein produced by the adipose tissue. it plays an important role in protection of host against inflammation and infection. some studies have reported changes in leptin levels in the gingival crevicular fluid (gcf), saliva and blood serum of patients with periodontal disease compared to healthy individuals. the aim of the present study was to compare the sa...

background: studies have shown that obese individuals are at increased risk of breast cancer development and poorer prognosis. leptin, an adipose tissue-derived hormone, has pro-inflammatory and proliferative effects and a well-established association with several comorbidities of obesity. this study was designed and conducted to compare the serum levels of leptin in patients with malignant and...

objective(s):the aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between insulin resistance (ir) and leptin (lep) gene polymorphisms in peritoneal dialysis (pd) patients. materials and methods: from july 1, 2011 to august 1, 2011, patients who received chronic pd were chosen and divided into three groups (dm, high homr-ir, and low homr-ir). two pcr products of lep were sequenced and aligne...
