Background: Leptin is a hormone which is secreted by the adipocytes. In the circulation, leptin levels are directly proportional to the body fat percentage. Studies have shown that higher leptin levels are associated with an increased risk of hypertension after adjusting for body mass index (BMI).

Leptin, NK cells, and the weight of immunity: Insights into obesity.

Obesity is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects more than 1 billion people worldwide and is associated with various metabolic and physiological dysfunctions, directly impacting the dynamics of the immune response, partly due to elevated leptin levels. Leptin is an important peptide hormone that regulates neuroendocrine function and energy homeostasis, with its blood levels reflecting energy reserves, fat mass, or energy deprivation. This hormone also plays a fundamental role in regulating immune function, including the activity of NK cells, which are essential components in antiviral and antitumor activity.

Obesity is a serious health threat, which has affected 16% of adults globally in 2022 and shows a trend toward youthfulness. Leptin, as a regulator of body weight, can suppress appetite and promote energy expenditure, making it potential in obesity treatment. Nevertheless, with the progress of relevant research, it is worth noting that monotherapy with leptin is not an effective strategy since most obese individuals are hyperleptinemic and resistant to leptin, where high levels of leptin fail to exert its weight-loss effects.

The role of leptin in the male reproductive system.

J Turk Ger Gynecol Assoc

December 2024

Department of Histology and Embryology, Yeditepe University Faculty of Medicine, İstanbul, Turkey.

Leptin is a hormone produced from adipose tissue, targeting the hypothalamus and regulating energy expenditure, adipose tissue mass, and reproductive function. Leptin concentration reflects body weight and the amount of energy stored, as well as the level of reproductive hormones and male fertility. In this review, the aim was to focus on leptin signaling mechanisms and the significant influence of leptin on the male reproductive system and to summarize the current knowledge of clinical and experimental studies.

Article Synopsis
  • - PBDEs, used as flame retardants, are harmful pollutants that disrupt endocrine function and alter neurobehavior and metabolism, especially during development.
  • - A study tested if maternal probiotic supplementation with Limosilactobacillus reuteri could protect offspring against negative effects caused by PBDE exposure, focusing on gut microbiome diversity and developmental health.
  • - Results showed that maternal LR supplementation improved gut microbiome health and developmental outcomes in PBDE-exposed offspring, leading to normalized body weight gain and corrected timing of tooth eruption in both sexes.
