Original Source: Effect of Growth Hormone on Leptin, Cytokines and Body Composition of Children With Growth Failure Due to Chronic Kidney Disease
Circulating concentrations of cytokines, such as leptin, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukins 1 and 6 are increased in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In light of the increasing recognition that growth hormone receptor signaling involves cytokine pathway activation, the investigators hypothesize that maladaptation of cytokine regulation in chronic kidney disease may underlie growth failure. Secondly, they hypothesize that administration of recombinant human...

Researchers Focus On Leptin In The Fight Against Obesity
Researchers at the University of Michigan have determined how the hormone leptin, an important regulator of metabolism and body weight, interacts with a key receptor in the brain. Leptin is a hormone...
Researchers discover leptin hormone in fruit flies
Researchers have discovered in fruit flies a key metabolic hormone thought to be the exclusive property of vertebrates. The hormone, leptin, is a nutrient sensor, regulating energy intake and output a...
Overcoming Leptin Resistance In The Battle Against Obesity
How leptin, a hormone that regulates metabolism and body weight interacts with an important brain receptor, has given researchers from the University of Michigan new insight into possible ways of comb...

Leptin expression and leptin receptor gene polymorphisms in growth hormone deficiency patients.
Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) patients have lower weight, height, bone age, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels, GH levels, fat metabolism and skeletal growth. The association of leptin with...
Leptin: The link between overweight and primary hyperparathyroidism?
Primary hyperparathyroidism is one of the most common causes of hypercalcemia. Most cases result from sporadic benign monoclonal adenomas or hyperplasia. Increased body weight is consistently present...
Leptin grows up and gets a neural network.
Studies seeking a dominant site of action for the hormone leptin have focused on leptin receptor-expressing neuropeptidergic neurons. In this issue, Vong et al. show that leptin regulates energy home...
Background: Treatment with growth hormone (GH) promotes linear growth and decreases body fat in patients with isolated GH deficiency (GHD). However, few studies have analyzed how GH replacement modifi...
