Stimulation of leptin release by arachidonic acid and prostaglandin E2 in adipose tissue from obese humans

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of arachidonic acid and its metabolites on leptin formation by explants of human adipose tissue over a 48-hour incubation in primary culture. We found that arachidonic acid or prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) stimulated leptin release by explants of subcuta...
