Comparative analysis of expression and secretion of placental leptin in mammals
2003
American Journal of Physiology. Regulatory Integrative and Comparative Physiology
Increased plasma levels of leptin appears to be a ubiquitous feature of pregnant mammals. The mechanisms by which leptin levels are increased may be species-specific, however, with some species upregulating adipose leptin production, and others expressing leptin in the placenta. Placental leptin expression was examined in representative species of the two most abundant mammalian orders, Rodentia and Chiroptera, and in cultured human choriocarcinoma (BeWo) cells. Leptin mRNA was expressed in
