General description

Leptin is an adipokine secreted by the adipose tissue. It is also found in the primary and secondary lymphoid organs. Leptin has a 3D structure made up of four α-helix bundle motifs. It participates in regulating neuroendocrine function and energy homeostasis. Leptin also participates in physiological processes such as reproduction, angiogenesis, and hemopoiesis. Rat Leptin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit is used for the non-radioactive quantification of leptin in rat sera. Plasma samples may also be used but application to samples of other biological fluids may need validation by the user.

Application

Rat Leptin ELISA kit has been used in the determination of leptin from rat serum and plasma samples.

Obesity is well characterized as a systemic inflammatory condition, and is also associated with cognitive disruption, suggesting a link between the two. We assessed whether peripheral inflammation in maternal obesity may be transferred to the offspring brain, in particular, the

Leptin is an adipokine which conveys information on energy availability. In humans, leptin influences energy homeostasis and regulates neuroendocrine function primarily in states of energy deficiency. As a cytokine, leptin also affects thymic homeostasis and, similar to other proinflammatory cytokines

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is closely linked with metabolic diseases, appetite disorders and obesity at adulthood. Leptin, a major adipokine secreted by adipose tissue, circulates in direct proportion to body fat stores, enters the brain and regulates food intake and
