Dietary Protein Restriction Increases Hepatic Leptin Receptor mRNA and Plasma Soluble Leptin Receptor in Rodents

Background: Leptin is an adipokine that regulates adipose tissue mass through membrane-anchored leptin receptor (Ob-R). Extracellular domain of Ob-R in plasma is called soluble leptin receptor (sOb-R), and is the main leptin-binding protein. This study aimed to clarify the effect of dietary protein...
