Abstract:To investigate the regulation of leptin secretion and pulsatility by fat mass, we performed overnight leptin sampling every 20 min for 12 h and compared leptin dynamics with total body and regional fat measurements in 20 healthy male subjects. Simultaneous growth hormone (GH), cortisol, and insulin levels were assessed to determine relatedness and synchronicity during overnight fasting. Deconvolution analyses were performed to determine simultaneous hormonal dynamics, synchronicity, and interrelatedness using cross-correlation and cross-approximate entropy (X-ApEn) analyses. Subjects demonstrated 4.7 +/- 0.4 leptin pulses/12 h. Leptin secretion correlated highly with total body fat (r = 0.78, P < 0.001) and regional fat depots. In contrast, leptin pulsatility did not correlate with total fat (r = 0.07, P = 0.785) or other measures of fat. There was synchronicity between GH and leptin (lag -39 minutes), cortisol and leptin (lag -211 min), and leptin and insulin, with leptin following insulin by 275 min. The mean random X-ApEn was significant between leptin and GH (0.854 +/- 0.030), cortisol (0.891 +/- 0.023), and insulin (0.868 +/- 0.034), demonstrating a high degree of regularity and pattern frequency. These data demonstrate differential regulation of leptin secretion and pulsatility in adipocytes and suggest that the leptin pulse generator is extrinsic to fat, whereas fat mass acts as an amplifier to modulate secretion and amplitude for a given pulsatility. We demonstrate synchronicity between leptin and GH, cortisol, and insulin. The directionality of the cross correlation suggests a temporal construct in which changes in leptin follow those of insulin but precede those of GH and cortisol during overnight fasting.
