高血压病患者血清瘦素含量与胰岛素抵抗水平的相关性研究

目的：探讨高血压病患者血清瘦素水平与胰岛素抵抗的关系。方法：测定217例高血压病患者(男92例，女125例)的空腹血清瘦素含量、空腹血糖、胰岛素、收缩压、舒张压和体质量指数(BMI)，稳态模式评估法计算胰岛素抵抗指数(HOMA-IR)。分析瘦素与其他各项参数的相关性。结果：以HOMA—IR的25％位点，作为判断胰岛素抵抗的切割点，把高血压病患者分为胰岛素抵抗组(IR)和胰岛素敏感组(IS)，血清瘦素浓度IR组显著高于IS组(P＜0．05)。血清瘦素浓度与HOMA—IR呈显著正相关(男性r＝0．407，P＜0．01；女性r＝0．254，P＜0．01)；校正年龄和BMI后，男性组两者仍呈显著正相关(r＝0．219，P＜0．05)，女性组两者无相关；逐步回归分析显示，男性组HOMA—IR为血清瘦素浓度的独立预测因素。结论：男性高血压病患者血清瘦素浓度与胰岛素抵抗直接相关，女性则无直接相关性。性别差异的机制有待进一步探讨。     

血清瘦素水平的影响因素及相关性分析

目的探讨血清瘦素水平的影响因素及相关性分析.方法从2003年3～8月门诊体验人群中随机抽取标本150人,并排除糖尿病及高血压,测定FBS、血脂水平、血清瘦素水平(LEP)、胰岛素水平(INS),瘦素、胰岛素测定均采用放射免疫方法.胰岛素敏感性以敏感指数(IAI)评价.结果血清瘦素水平女性明显高于男性;相关分析显示血清瘦素水平与性别(SEX)、年龄(AGE)、体重指数(BMI)、INS显著正相关(r分别为0.429,0.329,0.249,0.322,P＜0.05);与LOGIAI显著负相关(r=0.322,P＜0.05),与TC,TG无明显相关;在调整年龄、BMI后,多远逐步回归分析显示血清瘦素水平仍与INS,LOGIAI显著相关.结论血清瘦素水平与TC,TG均无相关,提示高脂血症患者血清瘦素水平与正常人群比较无明显改变;血清瘦素水平与LOGIAI负相关,高瘦素水平人群胰岛素敏感性降低、存在胰岛素抵抗,提示瘦素-胰岛素轴的存在,瘦素是胰岛素抵抗的一个独立危险因素.肥胖患者存在高瘦素血症、瘦素抵抗.如果能弄清瘦素、胰岛素抵抗、肥胖之间的相互作用关系及因果关系,可能对瘦素抵抗、胰岛素抵抗相关痰病的防治有一定的意义.

Leptin effects on food and water intake in lines of chickens selected for high or low body weight

There is an association between autonomic nervous system output and obesity. The sympathetic nervous system stimulates lipid metabolism and regulates food intake and, hence, body weight. Leptin, produced by adipocytes in proportion to their size, has been shown to directly stimulate the satiety center. In the experiment reported here, food and water intake were compared after intracerebroventricular administration of human recombinant leptin to lines of chickens that had undergone divergent selection for over 45 generations from a common White Rock base population for high (HWS) or low (LWS) body weight at 8 weeks-of-age. Leptin caused a linear decrease in food intake in chickens from the LWS line whereas no effect was observed in those from the HWS line. The HWS chickens tended to have reduced water intake post leptin administration. Others reported that leptin decreased food intake in both broiler and Leghorn chickens. Leptin concentration in the central nervous system may not contribute directly to the difference of body weight between HWS and LWS chickens.     

Relationships between the serum levels of soluble leptin receptor and free and bound leptin in non-pregnant women of reproductive age and women undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between the serum levels of soluble leptin receptor (SLEPR), and total, free and bound leptin, and the change in the serum SLEPR level during an IVF cycle. METHODS: Serum concentrations of leptin and SLEPR were measured in 50 Japanese women of reproductive age, and 20 patients participating in an IVF programme. The total leptin was fractionated into free and bound portions by gel filtration chromatography. RESULTS: The SLEPR level was negatively correlated with the body mass index (BMI) (r = -0.548, P < 0.0001), total leptin (r = -0.433, P < 0.0001), the percentage of free leptin (r = -0.732, P < 0.0001) and the absolute free leptin concentration (r = -0.506, P < 0.0001). The SLEPR level was positively correlated with the percentage of bound leptin (r = 0.730, P < 0.0001), whereas there was little variation in the absolute bound leptin concentration, regardless of the BMI or SLEPR concentration. During the IVF cycle, total and free leptin elevated during maximal ovarian stimulation, whereas there was no significant difference in the SLEPR concentration. CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrate a skillful mechanism where a change in the serum SLEPR level regulates, in part, the biological activity of leptin in the circulation.

Changes in cerebral endothelial barrier antigen, without alteration of permeability for intravenously injected leptin in diet-induced obesity in rats

Leptin, a potent anorectic, 16-kDa, adipose tissue-derived protein, predominantly acts in hypothalamic nuclei, signaling obesity and modulating ingestive behavior. To reach this brain area, leptin, probably has to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In some cases of obesity, enhanced leptin levels in the blood do not result in anorectic effects, probably due to an altered leptin transport across the BBB. Therefore, we investigated the BBB in lean and diet-induced obese Lewis rats. To obtain information about the presence of microvessels with barrier dysfunction we examined three brain areas (hypothalamus, cortex, hippocampus) using a monoclonal antibody which detects intact microvessels of the BBB (anti-endothelial barrier antigen, anti-EBA). The results showed a significantly reduced EBA staining in the brain sections of the obese animals, except the hippocampus, compared to the control group. In a second step we injected I125-labeled leptin intravenously (i.v.) in permanent i.v.-cannulated, unrestrained Lewis rats (lean and obese). We measured the radioactivity in the cerebrospinal fluid after puncture of the cisterna magna, in the blood and brain tissue 90 min after injection. The leptin content in the cerebrospinal fluid and brain was not reduced in obese compared to lean rats, thus showing a similar transport capacity of the BBB in both experimental groups. Therefore, the results of the in vivo investigations do not indicate an impairment of the BBB in diet-induced obesity, despite the immunohistological findings. Further functional and morphological studies are necessary to evaluate the specific role of other organs and distinct forms of leptin (free and protein-bound) in the pathogenesis of diet-induced obesity.
