background & objectives: several epidemiological studies have indicated factors such as leptin level, adiponectin and plasma adiponectin-to-leptin index to be the predicting biomarkers for cardiovascular diseases. given the importance of healthy nutrition and adequate exercise in reducing the risk of atherosclerosis, this study aimed to investigate the effects of fasting and aerobic exercise on...

background leptin, a protein released from adipose tissue, could have significant role in pathogenesis of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. conclusions it is speculated that lower serum leptin levels in diabetic patients may be a consequence of male gender. moreover, results suggest that serum leptin level in women is influenced differently than that in men. results the serum leptin level i...

Introduction: Ghrelin, increases food intake, decreases T3 and T4 concentrations and stimulates insulin release, while leptin reduces food intake and suppresses appetite. Considering the importance of thyroid hormones, ghrelin and leptin in body metabolism, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of interactions between ghrelin and leptin (injected via ICV route) and plasma T...

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...

Bir tokluk hormonu olarak bilinen leptin, vücut ağırlığı kontrolünü koordine eden ve adipositler tarafından üretilen bir hormondur.
