abstract：:Leptin, a hormone secreted by adipocytes, is elevated in blood of obese adults. It is unknown whether the concentration is affected by gender, ethnicity, age, or stage of sexual maturation in children. We measured serum leptin levels in 183 children and 27 young adults using a double-antibody ELISA assay. Body fat mas...
