Journal ArticleDOI
TSH stimulates leptin secretion by a direct effect on adipocytes.
C Menendez,Roberto Baldelli,Jesus P. Camiña,B Escudero,R. Peino,Carlos Dieguez,Felipe F. Casanueva +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that leptin and the thyroid axis maintain a complex and dual relationship and open the possibility that plasmatic changes in TSH may contribute to the regulation of leptin pulses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retinoic acid and vitamin D(3) powerfully inhibit in vitro leptin secretion by human adipose tissue.
TL;DR: In vitro leptin secretion by human adipose tissue is negatively controlled by either RA or vitamin D(3), and the clinical significance of leptin regulation by this superfamily of nuclear receptors remains to be ascertained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prolactin stimulates leptin secretion by rat white adipose tissue.
Oreste Gualillo,Francisca Lago,María C. García,C Menendez,Rosa Señarís,Felipe F. Casanueva,Carlos Dieguez +6 more
TL;DR: It was found that increased serum PRL levels, obtained by pituitary graft or exogenous injected ovine PRL (oPRL, 5 mg/kg), significantly stimulate serum leptin concentration, suggesting a new role for this lactogenic hormone in the regulation of food intake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dihydrotestosterone, stanozolol, androstenedione and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate inhibit leptin secretion in female but not in male samples of omental adipose tissue in vitro: lack of effect of testosterone.
V. Piñeiro,Xesús Casabiell,R. Peino,M. Lage,Jesus P. Camiña,C Menendez,Javier Baltar,Carlos Dieguez,Felipe F. Casanueva +8 more
TL;DR: DHT, stanozolol, DHEA-S and androstenedione induced a significant inhibition of in vitro leptin secretion in samples from female donors, without affecting the secretion in sample from men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cold exposure inhibits leptin secretion in vitro by a direct and non-specific action on adipose tissue.
R. Peino,V. Piñeiro,Oreste Gualillo,C Menendez,J Brenlla,Xesús Casabiell,Carlos Dieguez,Felipe F. Casanueva +7 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that low temperatures reduce leptin secretion by acting directly on the adipose tissue and that the similar reduction in a hormone unrelated to energy metabolism, such as GH, suggests that the observed reduction is a mechanical perturbation of leptin secretion, which may be devoid of physiological implications.
