How Runners' High and Leptin Play a Role in Metabolism
As a runner, I’ve long been intrigued by what gets me high during my runs. Endorphins, you say? Yes, I’m well aware of those and bless those endorphins. But, I have to say, there’s nothing quite as satiating as a good run and as a scientist by training, I was convinced that there was more ...
Investigating Bioactive Leptin in Obesity Research
The Biology of Leptin
Leptin is a hormone composed of 167 amino acids and is primarily produced by adipocytes, therefore providing a signal to the energy state of organisms. By binding to the leptin receptor, the analyte influences activity within the JAK-STAT pathway and thereby regulates energy m...
