abstract：:Leptin is the product of the ob gene located in humans on chromosome 7q31.3. It is a 16-kDa protein named after the Greek "leptos," meaning lean, to indicate the function that this adipocyte-secreted protein was thought to have. Since its discovery, in fact, most of the research focused on the role of leptin in body-w...
