Abstract

Leptin is secreted by adipose tissue and regulates energy homeostasis, glucose and lipid metabolism, immune function, and other systems. The binding of leptin to its specific receptor activates various intracellular signaling pathways, including Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/ signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), insulin receptor substrate (IRS)/phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K), SH2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (SHP2)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/ acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. Understanding of leptin signaling provides insights into its roles in health and disease.

  • Leptin binds to its specific receptor LepRb on cells in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues, including skeletal muscle, placenta, ovary, pituitary gland, and lymphoid tissue.

    “Leptin binds to its specific receptor, LepRb, on cells in the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral tissues, including skeletal muscle, placenta, ovary, pituitary gland, and lymphoid tissue”

    From Targeting Janus Kinases and Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 To Treat Inflammation, Fibrosis, and Cancer: Rationale, Progress, and Caution (2020) · cites this paper as Park and Ahima, 2014

    The Physiology of leptin section says leptin binds to LepRs in the brain and peripheral tissues, and that LepRb is the isoform primarily responsible for signaling. It lists skeletal muscle, placenta, ovary, pituitary gland, and lymphoid tissue as sites of leptin expression—not specifically as sites of LepRb expression. No page number is provided in our copy.

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.
