Se Jin Park, Ki Won Park, Young Mi Hong

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(10):1103-1111. Published online October 15, 2001

Purpose : The product of the ob gene, leptin is an adipocyte specific hormone that might be involved in the regulation of food intake by the central neuroendocrine system.

Byung Churl Lee, Moon Young Song, Byung Kyu Suh

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(6):785-790. Published online June 15, 1998

Purpose : The identification of the ob gene and its adipocyte-specific protein leptin has provided the first physiologic links to the regulatory system controlling body weight. In adults, elevations of serum leptin concentrations correlated closely with the percentage of body fat. This study investigated whether leptin concentrations were elevated in obese children, and the relationship between leptin concentrations and gender and pubertal stage. Methods :...
