Research and Perspectives in Endocrine Interactions

Kordon, Claude; Robinson, I.; Hanoune, Jacques; Dantzer, R.

In mammals, a robust physiologic system acts to maintain relative constancy of weight. A key element of this system is leptin. The nature of this "brain-somatic" cross talk is as yet poorly understood, but it is likely to have important implications for the pathophysiology and treatment of obesity, diabetes and other metabolic disorders.
