Leptin circulates at levels proportional to body fat, white adipose tissue is its main source
It enters the central nervous system(CNS) in proportion to its plasma concentration.
Its receptors are found in brain neurons involved in regulating energy intake and expenditure.
In addition to white adipose tissue, it can also be produced by brown adipose tissue, placenta (syncytiotrophoblasts), ovaries, skeletal muscle, stomach
(lower part of fundic glands), mammary epithelial cells, bone marrow, pituitary and liver

five leptin receptor isoforms LRa-e
• LRa lacks intracellular domain and is highly abundantly expressed in brain capillary endothelium and peripheral organs and proposed to mediate leptin transport (across endothelial barriers)
• LRb is restricted to the hypothalamus, brainstem and key regions of the brain that control feeding, metabolism and neuroendrocine systems. This receptor signals into the cell.

-Adipose tissue is an anatomical term for loose connective tissue composed of adipocytes (or fat cells).
Adipose tissue
-Its main role is to store fatty acids in the form of triglycerides, thus providing the organism with effective fuel storage
-besides that it cushions and thermally insulates the body.

adipose tissue
-adipose tissue has an important endocrine function as it produces adipokines and inflammatory mediators, amongst others, leptin, adiponectin, resistin , adipsin, TNFα, IL-6 and PAI-1
Because of the production of inflammatory mediators, an excess of adipose tissue leads to a chronic mild inflammatory-state that may play a role in late onset diabetes (insulin resistance).

congenital leptin deficiency human)
- voracious appetite- morbid obesity- immunosuppression- hypothalamic hypogonadism (failing folliculogenesis (leading to infertility) due to a lack of gonadotrophin releasing hormone, which normally stimulates FSH and LH production in the anterior pituitary)
Similar symptomes can be obtained through prolonged fasting or lipodystrophy. Hypogonadism may occur in athletes or in women on extreme low calory diets)

leptin
Refresh your memory: leptin in the arcuate nucleus promotes POMC-neuron function and inhibits Npy/AgRP-neurons, leading to an anorectic signal (loss of apettite)

Janus-kinase (JAK) constitutes a small
protein kinase subfamily within the big family of
non-receptor tyrosine kinases:
- JAK1-3- Tyk2
- A8K910

A lack of glucose interferes with the leptin signal through a pathway that involves 5’-AMP, a monophosphate nucleotide that is generated in a « rescue » pathway where two ADP are used to raise the level of ATP
