Leptin is well known to be involved in the control of feeding, reproduction and neuroendocrine
functions through its action on the hypothalamus. However, leptin receptors are found in …

… The testing machine (Instron 5544 electro-mechanical testing system, Instron, Canton, MA)
equipped with a 2000 N load cell and a pushing rod (diameter = 0.8 mm) was used to load …

… The subjects were divided into top half group (n = 14) and bottom half group (n = 14) based
on 1RM … (n = 29). The criterion for statistical significance was set at P ≤ 0.05 for all analyses. …

Leptin, an adipocytokine encoded by an obesity gene and expressed in adipose tissue,
