Adipocyte Leptin Signaling Regulates Glycemia and Cardiovascular Function by Enhancing Brown Adipose Tissue Thermogenesis in Obese Male Mice.

Although control of metabolism by leptin is primarily viewed as centrally mediated, leptin has also been shown to directly regulate adipocyte function. However, the impact of the peripheral effects of leptin on systemic metabolism, especially in the…
