Molecular and anatomical determinants of central leptin resistance
Abstract
The increasing incidence of obesity in developed nations is an ever-growing challenge to health care, promoting diabetes and other diseases. The hormone leptin, which is derived from adipose tissue, regulates feeding and energy expenditure. Most forms of obesity are associated with diminished responsiveness to the appetite-suppressing effects of leptin. Here we review the mechanisms by which leptin activates intracellular signals, the roles of these signals in leptin action in vivo, and mechanisms that may attenuate leptin signaling, limiting its action in obese individuals. We highlight data regarding the expression of SOCS3 (a potential mediator of leptin resistance) in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
