Reproductive function is dependent on energy resources. The role of weight, body composition,
fat distribution and the effect of diet have been largely investigated in experimental …

The sacroiliac joints are involved in most cases of axial spondyloarthropathy, the first
manifestation usually being sacroiliitis. A finding of sacroiliitis at radiography is the classic …

Leptin is a 16000 MW protein originally described as an adipocyte-derived signaling molecule
for the central control of metabolism. However, pleiotropic effects of leptin have been …

Objective Neovascularization, with an increased number of synovial vessels with a
characteristic morphology, seems to contribute to the progression of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). …

Leptin (Ob), the peripheral signal produced by the adipocyte to regulate energy metabolism,
can also be produced by placenta, where it may work as an autocrine hormone. Recently, …

The process of embryo implantation and trophoblast invasion is considered the most limiting
factor in the establishment of pregnancy. Leptin was originally described as an adipocyte-…

Leptin was originally considered as an adipocyte-derived signaling molecule for the central
control of metabolism. However, pleiotropic effects of leptin have been identified in …

Leptin is a homeostatic regulator in the placenta where it promotes proliferation, protein
synthesis and the expression of tolerogenic maternal response molecules such as HLA-G. …

Insulin and leptin receptors are known to share signaling pathways, such as JAK2/STAT-3 (Janus
kinase2/signal transduction and activator of transcription3), MAPK (Mitogen activated …

Placentas from gestational diabetes (GDM) suffer from structural and functional changes
including overgrowth. That is why we aimed to study [ 3 H]-leucine incorporation into protein in …
