Abstract

Leptin, a primarily adipose tissue-derived protein product of the obesity (ob) gene, is an important regulator of energy metabolism. The strong association between body fat mass and elevated circulating leptin levels in humans suggests that leptin resistance, rather than leptin production, may contribute to the development of obesity and associated disorders. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between circulating plasma leptin levels and regulation of body weight over time among US men. Four-year prospective study. A total of 247 men from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, who at baseline (1994), were 47-64 y of age, were free of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus and malignant neoplasmas, and completed a detailed lifestyle questionnaire. In addition, all participants completed a follow-up questionnaire in 1998. Baseline plasma leptin levels and 4-y weight change. At the start of follow-up, men in the highest quintile for plasma leptin (mean=12.1 ng/ml) weighed more, were less physically active, and had higher circulating insulin levels than men in the lowest quintile (mean=2.7 ng/ml). After adjustments for baseline age, weight, height, smoking status, alcohol intake, and physical activity,...Continue Reading
