osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease and there is a close relationship between the sympathetic nervous system (sns) and bone metabolism. leptin has been shown to regulate bone formation and bone resorption via the sns. however, the effect of sns on leptin signaling has not been clearly understood. in the present study, we studied the effect of propranolol on ovariectomy-induced osteoporo...

The integration of metabolism and reproduction involves complex interactions of hypothalamic neuropeptides with metabolic hormones, fuels, and sex steroids. Of these, estrogen influences food intake, body weight, and the accumulation and distribution of adipose tissue. In this study, the effects of estrogen on food intake, serum leptin levels, and leptin mRNA expression were evaluated in ovarie...

evidence acquisition elevated serum leptin levels are regarded as an established marker of obesity. it is also reported that obese asthmatic patients have maximum serum leptin levels compared to other groups such as non-obese asthmatics, and normal obese and non obese subjects without asthma. in addition to having an appetite suppressing effect, leptin also regulates certain acute-phase protein...

Objective(s): The aim of this study was to estimate effects of hyperbaric (HB) treatment by determination of CD15s and CD11b leukocyte proinflammatory markers expression.  In addition, this study describes changes in CD77 and CD34 expression on rat endothelial cells in renal, pulmonary and cardiac tissue following exposure to hyperbaric pressure. Materials and Methods:Expression of CD11b and CD...

Leptin is secreted predominantly by adipocytes and exerts its role mainly by interaction with the long form of leptin receptor (LEPR_V2). It has been identified that LEPR_V2 is widely distributed in various tissues, including the anterior pituitary. Cross-talk between leptin and estrogens has been indentified. Estrogen is known to modulate the tissue-specific expression of LEPR_V2 and leptin in...

Ovariectomized mice on a high fat diet represent a model of diet-induced obesity during estrogen deficiency. Here, we tested the hypothesis that sensitivity to centrally administered leptin in ovariectomized mice with diet-induced obesity could be restored by estrogen supplementation. Ovariectomized C57BL/6 female mice were fed either a standard or high fat diet until they were 27 weeks old. Ov...
