Abstract | ||||
Background: Obesity is a resilient and complex chronic disease. Leptin is an adipocyte-derived hormone acts as a key regulator of feeding and energy expenditure. The aim of our study was to assess the level of serum leptin as well as leptin immuno-histochemistry expression in adipose tissue in obese and non-obese rats. Leptin was markedly detected in young preadipocytes during lipogenesis (before weight loss (regime) in contrast to adipocytes undergoing lipolysis (after weight loss (regime) in the later weak positive. | ||||
