There is no doubt that obesity is associated with the risk of systemic inflammation and related syndromes (sepsis). It is possible that leptin, a hormone produced by adipose tissue, is an important link between obesity and inflammation, but the existence of contradictory data and the presence of multiple comorbidities in animals deficient in leptin (or leptin receptor) have hindered the u…
As presented in the activity report, the results obtained so far not only question the prematurely accepted pro-inflammatory role of leptin, but, on the contrary, demonstrate that physiological concentrations of leptin exert anti-inflammatory effects. Our results further show that such anti-inflammatory effect does not result from a direct action of leptin on peripheral macrophages. Lepti…
