Selective leptin resistance: a new concept in leptin physiology with cardiovascular implications
Abstract
Leptin, an adipocyte secreted hormone, acts in the hypothalamus to inhibit appetite and promote thermogenic metabolism, thereby reducing adiposity and body weight. Leptin has multiple autonomic and cardiovascular actions, including sympathetic activation, increases in endothelium derived nitric oxide (NO), and angiogenesis. The predominant cardiovascular effect of chronic hyperleptinemia is a pressor effect mediated by increased sympathetic activity. The sympathetic and cardiovascular actions of leptin are discussed and evidence derived from studies of obese mice for the novel concept of selective leptin resistance is reviewed. This concept holds that in some obese states, there is preservation of the sympathoexcitatory actions of leptin despite resistance to the satiety and weight-reducing actions of the hormone. Selective leptin resistance might explain how hyperleptinemia could contribute to increases in sympathetic activity and arterial pressure in obese states where there is resistance to the metabolic (satiety and weight-reducing) actions of leptin. It is speculated here, that this concept may have potential implications for human obesity, which is often associated with elevated plasma leptin and partial resistance to the satiety effects of leptin. If selective leptin resistance occurs in obese humans, then leptin could contribute to the sympathetic overactivity and hypertension despite resistance to its metabolic actions.

“An intriguing aspect to consider with respect to the influence of leptin on the myocardium is the concept that selective leptin resistance occurs in obesity (60, 61, 222, 223).”

In the citing paper
“Initial studies purporting this concept suggested that while the effects of leptin on satiety and energy metabolism were resistant, the sympathoexcitatory effects were maintained (60, 61, 222, 223, 290, 291).”

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.
