   Nyckelord :Leptin; growth hormone; cortisol; Dexamethasone; insulin; fasting; total parenteral nutrition; meal timing; obese children; Prader Willi syndrome; adipocyte; lipolysis; lipogenesis.;

   Sammanfattning : Leptin is a protein hormone secreted by adipocytes, which binds to receptors in the brain to affect food intake and energy expenditure. The leptin receptor is a member of the cytokine receptor family and is widely distributed in the body suggesting a broader role for leptin. LÄS MER

3. 7. Insulin and growth hormone : regulation of adipocyte metabolism during infancy and childhood
