Leptin in Atherosclerosis: Focus on Macrophages, Endothelial and Smooth Muscle Cells
Increasing adipose tissue mass in obesity directly correlates with elevated circulating leptin levels. Leptin is an adipokine known to play a role in numerous biological processes including regulation of energy homeostasis, inflammation, vascular function and angiogenesis. While physiological concen...
