The Concept of Selective Leptin Resistance
Open accessAbstract
Leptin, a hormone secreted by adipose tissue, acts to inhibit appetite and promote metabolism, thereby reducing body weight. Leptin also increases sympathetic activity and arterial pressure. Several murine models of obesity, including agouti obese mice, exhibit resistance to the anorexic and weight-reducing effects of leptin. Hypertension in agouti mice has been attributed to hyperleptinemia. These observations pose a seeming paradox. If these mice are leptin-resistant, then how can leptin contribute to hypertension? We tested the novel hypothesis that these mice have selective leptin resistance, with preservation of the sympathoexcitatory action despite resistance to the weight-reducing actions. Leptin-induced decreases in food intake and body weight were less in agouti obese mice than in lean littermates. In contrast, leptin-induced increases in sympathetic nerve activity did not differ in obese and lean mice. These findings support the concept of selective leptin resistance, with resistance to the metabolic actions of leptin but preservation of the sympathoexcitatory actions. This finding may have potential implications for human obesity, which is associated with elevated plasma leptin and is thought to be a leptin-resistant state. If leptin resistance is selective in obese humans, then leptin could contribute to sympathetic overactivity and its adverse consequences in human obesity.

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.
