摘要
OBJECTIVE: Leptin, a primarily adipose tissue-derived protein product of the obesity (ob) gene, is an important regulator of energy metabolism. The strong association between body fat mass and elevated circulating leptin levels in humans suggests that leptin resistance, rather than leptin production, may contribute to the development of obesity and associated disorders. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between circulating plasma leptin levels and regulation of body weight over time among US men.
