Healthy leptin levels can boost your chances of getting pregnant or carrying a child. It sends a signal to your brain that it’s OK to ovulate and prepare the uterus for a baby .

Because leptin is a key molecule involved in the regulation of both energy balance and immunity, we investigated abnormalities in leptin physiology among maltreated children. We measured leptin ...

Leptin may play a stronger role in weight control in children, than adults. One of the variations, Vel94Met, which reduces the amount of leptin that the body produces, is only found in individuals ...

Children making certain dysfunctional variant forms of leptin as a result of genetic mutations required a hugely increased dose of a leptin analog to achieve weight loss and other clinical responses.

Disabled children in feeding group 2 (1.54 ng/ml; 95% CI 1.26–1.90; n=19) had significantly higher levels of leptin than the non-disabled children (P=0.040), and there were no leptin differences ...

In addition, healthy leptin levels can boost your chances of getting pregnant or carrying a child. It sends a signal to your brain that it’s OK to ovulate and prepare the uterus for a baby .

We describe two unrelated children, a 14-year-old boy (Patient A) and a 2-year-old girl (Patient B), who had characteristics of leptin dysfunction including intense hyperphagia, impaired satiety ...

Both children had high levels of leptin in their blood, which coincided with their high body fat percentages. After ruling out the Prader–Willi and Bardet–Biedl syndromes — two other rare ...

Personalized recombinant leptin treatment helped reverse severe, early-onset obesity in two children carrying rare antagonistic leptin genetic variants, a study showed.

Leptin deficiencies are usually diagnosed when you’re growing up. “These children usually have pretty severe obesity that you’ll see within the first few months of life,” Stanford says.
