Alteration of mitochondrial oxidative capacity during porcine preadipocyte differentiation and in response to leptin

Mitochondrial apparatus is a fundamental aspect in cell, serving for amino acid biosynthesis, fatty acid oxidation (FAO), and ATP production. In this article, we investigated the change of mitochondrial oxidative capacity during porcine adipocyte differentiation and in response to leptin. Rhodamine 123 staining analysis showed about 2-fold increase of mitochondrial membrane electric potential in differentiated adipocyte in comparison with preadipocyte. The mRNA expression of Cytochromes c (Cyt c), carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1), and malate dehydrogenases (MDH) increased markedly (P < 0.05), but that of UCP2 decreased (P < 0.05). Moreover PGC-1α and UCP3 was very low and showed no changes during the adipocyte differentiation. The protein expression of Cyt c and the enzyme activity of Cytochrome c oxidase (COX) increased with preadipocyte differentiation, but cellular ATP level decreased. Furthermore, at the level of 10 and 100 ng/ml leptin not only selectively increased the gene expression of PGC-1α, CPT1, Cyt c, UCP2, and UCP3 (P < 0.05), but also enhanced COX enzyme activity which related to mitochondrial FAO. There is no change of Mitochondrial membrane electric potential and ATP level in cell treated by leptin. These results suggested Mitochondrial is not only critical in FAO, but also play an important role in adipogenesis.     

Hormone and metabolic factors associated with leptin mRNA expression in pre- and postmenopausal women

Recent information has extended leptin's action, beyond the control of appetite, to various sites of metabolic regulation. To better understand leptin's role we studied its production in subcutaneous and visceral fat compartments before and after menopause. During elective abdominal surgery, biopsies of subcutaneous and omental tissues were taken from 20 women at pre- (BMI 28.4 +/- 4.5 kg/m2) and 10 at postmenopause (BMI 30.6 +/- 7.7 kg/m2). In both groups serum leptin levels were similar, and highly correlated with BMI. In subcutaneous adipose tissue, leptin mRNA expression was significantly higher in pre- than in postmenopausal women (50.4 +/- 20.5 amol/microg total RNA versus 34.5 +/- 24.9 amol/microg total RNA, respectively). Leptin mRNA expression in subcutaneous tissue was independently correlated with fasting glucose (R = 0.89, P < 0.006) at premenopause, and with serum estradiol (R = 0.77, P < 0.04) at postmenopause. Leptin mRNA expression in visceral fat was correlated with DHEAS (R = 0.86, P < 0.001), at premenopause. These results indicate that in both compartments, leptin production is sensitive to different but overlapping stimuli, conveying information about energy availability to central and peripheral sites under different conditions of estrogen exposure.     

Plasma leptin decreases during lactation in insectivorous bats

We previously demonstrated high leptin levels during late pregnancy in little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus). We now extend these observations to a second species, the big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus), and also report that leptin increases after the first trimester of pregnancy. Leptin decreased to baseline 1 week following parturition, with a half-time decay of 2 days. During lactation, leptin was significantly correlated with body mass in E. fuscus, but not in M. lucifugus. No circadian pattern of leptin was observed in M. lucifugus. The decrease in post-partum leptin in bats may be partly explained by loss of putative placental leptin. The continued decrease may reflect depletion of body fat during this energy demanding period, at least in Eptesicus. Changes in leptin during lactation appeared to be independent of circadian effects and time of sampling. Our study provides additional evidence that leptin increases during pregnancy and declines during lactation in a free-ranging mammal, supporting the hypothesis that leptin plays important but yet undetermined roles in reproduction.

Relationship of plasma leptin and adiponectin concentrations with menopausal status in Tunisian women

To evaluate the effect of menopausal status and body mass index (BMI) on circulating leptin and adiponectin concentrations and investigate whether there is an influence of menopausal transition on the relationships of these adipokines and leptin to adiponectin (L/A) ratio with lipid profile and insulin resistance in a sample of Tunisian women. One hundred ninety-six premenopausal (mean age 35.3 ± 7.6 years) and 180 postmenopausal women (mean age 53.4 ± 6.2 years) were included in the study. Participants were stratified into obese and normal weight groups based upon their baseline BMI. Fasting glucose, HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), insulin, leptin, and adiponectin concentrations were measured. Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated. Premenopausal women had significantly higher leptin and L/A ratio and lower adiponectin levels than postmenopausal women. Menopause had no effect on the mean values of BMI, insulin or HOMA-IR, HDL-C, and TG. Using a multiple linear regression model, menopausal status was identified, as significant independent predictor for leptin and adiponectin levels. Irrespective of the menopausal status, obese women exhibited higher leptin and L/A ratio and lower adiponectin levels compared to those with normal weight. Comparison between the two menopausal stages in obese and normal weight groups showed that leptin and L/A ratio decreased, while adiponectin increased from pre- to postmenopausal stage only in obese group. The L/A ratio correlated better with lipid profile and HOMA-IR in postmenopausal stage. The present study showed a significant interaction between menopause and BMI on leptin and adiponectin secretion. Menopausal transition affects the relationships of these adipokines with lipids and insulin resistance.     

Daily rhythms of serum leptin in ewes: effects of feeding, pregnancy and lactation

The aim of the present study was to test whether serum concentrations of leptin in ewes vary with a daily rhythm. For this purpose, we examined 24 h serum leptin profiles of ewes exposed to natural photoperiodic conditions and subjected to two different feeding schedules (regular feeding and fasting). The results show for the first time the existence of daily rhythm of plasma leptin in regularly fed ewes, with a minimum during the light phase and a peak during the dark phase. Daily rhythms of serum leptin persisted after 50 h of fasting, although fasting shifted the peak of the rhythm to the beginning of the light phase and significantly reduced daily leptin production. To gain a better understanding of the role of leptin in the temporal organization of physiological events related to pregnancy and lactation, we measured serum leptin profiles throughout 24 h in ewes either during pregnancy or lactation. Daily leptin rhythms were found to persist during pregnancy and lactation, but both physiological conditions altered leptin concentrations. Maternal serum leptin concentration rose between early and mid pregnancy, then decreased in the late pregnancy and during lactation. Daily serum leptin concentration was significantly lower in nonpregnant, nonlactating ewes, compared either to lactating or to early pregnant ewes.     

Physiological predictors of leptin vary during menses and ovulation in healthy women

Although research has shown interactions between the reproductive system and energy homeostasis, it is not clear how environmental or behavioral factors may factor into these associations. Here we aimed to determine how changes in reproductive state (i.e., phase of the menstrual cycle) and other behavioral and physiological factors may influence leptin levels in healthy women, as well as how sexual activity may play a role in leptin modulation. We collected serum and saliva from 32 healthy women and measured leptin, estradiol, and progesterone. Participants also completed surveys of demographics, health and sexual behaviors, and physical activity. Leptin was predicted by meals per day and missed meals at both menses and ovulation. However, estradiol and physical activity were stronger predictors of leptin at menses, while sexual activity was a stronger predictor of leptin at ovulation. These findings suggest that predictors of serum leptin, and possibly energy storage and expenditure, vary across the menstrual cycle.
