Beginning with a synthesis of the vast body of work on its discovery, dissection of mechanisms, and effects in experimental models , the focus of this book shifts to a consideration of the regulation and role of leptin in humans. The emphasis on human-level data is a unique feature of this book. The results of numerous studies indicate that leptin is indeed a regulated human hormone..Leptin .provides a detailed account of the myriad physiological, hormonal, metabolic, immunological, mitogenic and inflammatory modulators and targets of leptin in a single volume. Next follows a comprehensive presentation of the therapeutic trials of recombinant leptin in patients with congenital leptin deficiency, lipodystrophy, hypothalamic amenorrhea, and other emerging areas, including leptin supplementation in leptin-replete subjects, leptin substitution for insulin in diabetic models, and novel combination regimens of leptin and other biogenic peptides. Unanswered questions and future directions in leptin research are highlighted in t | 出版日期 | Book 2015 | 关键词 | Dysleptinemia; ELISA; Glucocorticoids; Homeostasis; Hormonal regulation; Hypertension; Hypothalamus; Leptin | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-09915-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-35413-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-09915-6 | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015 |
