Leptin is a hormone that’s released by fat cells and processed in the brain. The hormone tells your brain that your fat ...

Though a complex interplay of genes, diet, and environment contribute, 90% of cases share one thing in common: leptin ...

He was able to show that production in fat cells also was slowed by leptin. The finding gives scientists the first indication that leptin suppresses biochemical reactions in fat cells without the ...

A new study from the University of Calgary may help explain why women are more likely than men to experience chronic pain.

Enterochromaffin (EC) cells and expression of leptin, PAX4 (critical factor for EC specification), tryptophane hydroxylase-1 (TPH1, the peripheral rate-limiting enzyme for 5HT) and 5HT were ...

Leptin is produced by fat cells and acts as a kind of 'fullness' signal — the more fat you have, the more leptin you make. Myostatin, on the other hand, is produced by your muscles and serves as ...

channels but through different types of immune cells. However, in female rodents, activation of Panx1 releases leptin, a hormone which has been associated with heightened pain sensitivity.

Leptin is a hormone your fat cells produce. It helps you regulate energy. Some people call it the “satiety hormone” because it suppresses hunger. High levels of leptin tell your brain when you ...

In "Leptin Receptor Neurons in the dorsomedial hypothalamus require distinct neuronal subsets for thermogenesis and weight loss," researchers laid out the pathways, chemicals, neurons and brain ...
