Morphology of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone neurons as a function of age and hormonal condition in the male rat.

abstract：:Leptin, the product of the obese gene, is a protein that is secreted primarily from adipocytes. Leptin can influence the function of the pituitary gland through its action on the hypothalamus, but it can also directly act at the level of the pituitary gland. The ability of leptin to induce an increase in intracellular...
