Leptin Biological Function and Mechanism of Regulation

doi:10.3321/j.issn:1000-7091.2006.z1.044

Abstract

Abstract: Leptin, a 16 kDa protein secreted from white adipocytes, has been implicated in the regulation of food intake, energy expenditure, and whole-body energy balance in rodents and humans. Leptin is thought to be a metabolic signal that regulates nutritional status effects on reproductive function. The role of intake, energy and hormones in the regulation of leptin expression and secretion is emerging. This review evaluated latest development about biological function and mechanism of regulation.

Key words: Leptin, Biological function, Regulation factor
