Autosomal-dominant mode of inheritance of a melanocortin-4 receptor mutation in a patient with severe early-onset obesity is due to a dominant-negative effect caused by receptor dimerization.

abstract：:Leptin, a recently identified hormone, is believed to reduce appetite and maintain body weight. The mRNA of leptin is expressed only in mature adipose cells. To clarify the regulation of leptin gene expression in adipocytes, 3T3-L1 adipocytes were treated for 16 h with various agents known to modulate lipid metabolism...
