Role of leptin in the regulation of neuroendocrine functions

Abstract

This article reviews the data on leptin and the molecular mechanisms of its action. The role of leptin in the neuroendocrine response to fasting, in the regulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal and hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axes, as well as the effects of this peptide on "hypothalamus-pituitary-growth hormone" and "hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenals" systems has been summarized. The interaction between the leptin and insulin signaling pathways and the tasks related to the leptin resistance have been discussed.
