Postnatal leptin surge and regulation of circadian rhythm of leptin by feeding. Implications for energy homeostasis and neuroendocrine function

Leptin is thought to regulate energy balance through effects on food intake and thermogenesis. In addition, leptin may serve as a mediator of the neuroendocrine response to starvation, and may modulate the stress response and the timing of puberty. A role for leptin in development is suggested by th...
