Leptin, a 16-kDa peptid that circulates in plasma, is a part of a feedback loop that regulates fat mass by decreasing food intake and increasing energy expenditure. Leptin is secreted by adipocytes, placenta, and stomach. Circulating levels of it is influenced by the degree of adiposity, gender, acute changes in energy balance (independent of changes in adiposity), and various hormones, such as insulin and glucocorticoids. In this article we have reviewed the latest information about leptin, including the structure, functions, receptors, and relationship with obesity.Keywords: Leptin, Structure, Obesity, ExpressionTurkiye Klinikleri J Med Sci 2000, 20:112-121
