Elements in the pathophysiology of diminished growth hormone (GH) secretion in aging humans.

abstract：:Leptin shows pleiotropic effects in organisms including an important role in the regulation of glucose homeostasis. Elevated serum leptin, particularly in obese individuals, is a warning sign of energy imbalance, hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance and other metabolic risk factors that are strongly associated with ty...
