Reduction in the Leptin Concentration as a Predictor of Improvement in Lung Function in Obese Adolescents

Reduction in the Leptin Concentration as a Predictor of Improvement in Lung Function in Obese Adolescents

Objective: To assess the effects of weight loss on adipokines, asthma-related symptoms, exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB) and lung function, and to evaluate the role of leptin and adiponectin levels on lung function after treatment in obese adolescents. Methods: 84 postpubertal obese adolescents w...
