The fat-free mass compartment influences serum leptin in men
2000
European Journal of Endocrinology
Objective: Recent experimental work in mice has demonstrated that leptin is synthesized by muscle cells. As this latter tissue is the main target for insulin-estimulated glucose disposal, we hypothesized that the muscular and fat-free mass (FFM) compartments might influence serum leptin levels in humans through increased insulin resistance. Design and methods: We evaluated body composition (through bioelectric impedance and anthropometrical parameters), insulin resistance (using the fasting
