Abstract

Purpose: The of this study is to explore the differences between leptin (LEPG2548A), which is considered efficacious in respect of adiposity and leptin receptor gene variants (LEPRQ223R, K109R, K656N). Furthermore, the relationship between these differences and the serum leptin level shall be scrutinized.
