BACKGROUND: A relationship between estrogen and leptin has been described during the
follicular phase of both spontaneous menstrual cycles and cycles stimulated with exogenous …

1. The present study was conducted to investigate whether mild aerobic exercise and a mild
hypocaloric diet, instead of severe restrictions on caloric intake, would affect weight …

Abstract Background/Aims: To evaluate the metabolic effects of meals with varying glycemic
index (GI). Methods: We measured the glucose, insulin and leptin responses to two …

Objectives: To studied the relationship that exists between leptin, ghrelin, insulin,
neuropeptide Y (NPY), anthropometric, and metabolic variables in Saudi females. Methods …

Plasma leptin concentrations were measured every 20 min for 24 h in eight normal weight
women and in eight upper body and eight lower body obese women matched for body mass …

Short‐term sleep curtailment associated with activation of the stress system in healthy,
young adults has been shown to be associated with decreased leptin levels, impaired …

Sleep plays an important role in energy homeostasis. The present study tests the hypothesis
that circulating levels of leptin, a hormone that signals energy balance to the brain, are …

Objective In animal models, the adipocyte‐secreted hormone leptin increases energy
expenditure by increasing sympathetic outflow but its role in humans remains to be …

OBJECTIVE: To measure leptin, insulin and cholecystokinin (CCK) concentrations in obese
women on calorie restriction and to determine their correlation with hunger-satiety ratings …

Objective: We have previously shown that morning administration of dexamethasone in
combination with food induces a doubling of serum leptin levels starting at 7 hours after …
