Opposing Roles of Leptin and Ghrelin in the Equine Corpus Luteum Regulation: An In Vitro Study by António Galvão, Angela Tramontano, Maria Rosa Rebordão, Ana Amaral, Pedro Pinto Bravo, Anna Szóstek, Dariusz Skarzynski, Antonio Mollo, Graça Ferreira-Dias

“…Thus, the aim of this study was: (i) to characterize the immunolocalization, mRNA and protein levels of leptin (LEP), Ghrelin (GHR) and respective receptors LEPR and Ghr-R1A, throughout luteal phase; and (ii) to evaluate the role of LEP and GHR on progesterone (P4), prostaglandin (PG) E2 and PGF2α, nitric oxide (nitrite), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF); macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) secretion, and on angiogenic activity (BAEC proliferation), in equine corpus luteum (CL) from early and mid-luteal stages. …”

The Role of Leptin in Antipsychotic-Induced Weight Gain: Genetic and Non-Genetic Factors by Fabio Panariello, Gina Polsinelli, Carol Borlido, Marcellino Monda, Vincenzo De Luca

“…In this work, we reviewed preclinical, clinical, and genetic data in order to infer the potential role played by leptin in antipsychotic-induced weight gain considering two main hypotheses: (1) leptin is an epiphenomenon of weight gain; (2) leptin is a consequence of antipsychotic-induced “leptin-resistance status,” causing weight gain.…”
