Zusammenfassung:1  Diabetes Center and Clinical Research Institute of Kyoto National Hospital, Kyoto 612-8555; 2  Department of Medicine and Clinical Science, Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto 606-8507; and 3  Pharmaceutical Research Division, Takeda Chemical Industries, Osaka, Japan 532-8686 Leptin is an adipocyte-derived circulating satiety factor with a variety of biological effects. Evidence has accumulated suggesting that leptin may modulate glucose and lipid metabolism. In the present study, we examined lipid metabolism in transgenic skinny mice with elevated plasma leptin concentrations. The plasma concentrations of triglycerides and free fatty acids in transgenic skinny mice were 71.5 ( P
