Abstract:
Leptin,the product of the obese gene,is a protein produced and secreted primarily by adipose tissue.Leptin initiates several biological effects by binding to its receptors.Many studies have shown that leptin can reduce fat accumulation,but its mechanism is still unclear.This article reviewed the effects of leptin on lipogenesis,and especially on proliferation and differentiation of preadipocytes.
