Leptin and inflammation in the brain: characterization of cellular targets
The primary role of the adipocyte-derived hormone leptin is to regulate energy balance via direct action on hypothalamic neurons. Recently, a role in mediating the inflammatory response in the brain has been attributed to this hormone, although its cellular targets in mediating this function are sti...
