Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of leptin resistance through direct interaction of C-reactive protein with leptin.
Ke Chen,Li Fanghong,Ji Li,Hongbo Cai,Steven C. Strom,Alessandro Bisello,David E. Kelley,Miriam Friedman-Einat,Gregory A. Skibinski,Mark A. McCrory,Alexander J. Szalai,Allan Z. Zhao +11 more
TL;DR: The presence in human blood of several serum leptin-interacting proteins (SLIPs), isolated by leptin-affinity chromatography and identified by mass spectrometry and immunochemical analysis, confirmed that one of the major SLIPs is C-reactive protein (CRP).
Journal ArticleDOI
The chicken leptin gene: has it been cloned?
Miriam Friedman-Einat,Timothy Boswell,Guy Horev,G. Girishvarma,Ian C. Dunn,R.T. Talbot,Peter J. Sharp +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that a chicken leptin gene sequence with close sequence similarity to mouse leptin is not present in the chicken genome and mRNA sharing high sequence identity with mouse leptin has been found in the fat or liver of the domestic chicken, turkey, goose, or Japanese quail.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular cloning and properties of the chicken leptin-receptor (CLEPR) gene
TL;DR: The cloning of the full-length chicken leptin receptor (CLEPR) cDNA is reported, which is the first non-mammalian cloning of a LEPR gene, and shows tight conservation of most previously characterized LEPR motifs and essential tyrosine residues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of the Long-Sought Leptin in Chicken and Duck: Expression Pattern of the Highly GC-Rich Avian leptin Fits an Autocrine/Paracrine Rather Than Endocrine Function
Eyal Seroussi,Yuval Cinnamon,Sara Yosefi,Olga Genin,Julia Gage Smith,Nima Rafati,Susanne Bornelöv,Leif Andersson,Leif Andersson,Leif Andersson,Miriam Friedman-Einat +10 more
TL;DR: The results point to an autocrine/paracrine mode of action for bird leptin instead of being a circulating hormone as in mammals, resolving a long lasting controversy regarding the existence of leptin genes in these species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of acquisition of improved thermotolerance on the induction of heat shock proteins in broiler chickens
TL;DR: It is suggested that the induction of HSP in the heart and lung tissues of the whole animal correlates with the body temperature and HSP response does not represent a part of the long-term mechanism that is evoked by the early age conditioning.
