- W1974145315 abstract "The gene product from the ob gene, leptin, has recently been characterized in humans. The circulating level of leptin is related to body mass index (BMI) and more closely to estimates of total body fat, whereas visceral fat has been reported to be of minor importance. However, it is unknown if leptin is directly regulated by hormones that influence substrate metabolism and body composition. We studied leptin in adult growth hormone (GH)-deficient (GHD) patients substituted with GH treatment for 12 months in a parallel double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Twenty-seven GHD adults aged 44.9 +/- 1.9 years underwent anthropometric measurements for determination of regional and total body fat (BMI, waist to hip ratio [WHR], computed tomographic [CT] scan, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry [DEXA] scan, and bioimpedance analysis [BIA]) before and after 12 months of placebo-controlled GH substitution (2 IU/m2) in a parallel design. The same measurements were performed in 42 healthy adults aged 39.1 +/- 1.7 years. The logarithm of serum leptin levels correlated positively with abdominal subcutaneous fat and total body fat (BIA and DEXA) in untreated GHD patients and healthy subjects. Fasting insulin did not correlate with leptin levels in either of the groups. After 12 months of GH administration, the body composition of GHD patients was significantly changed with respect to a marked decrease in body fat. The relations of leptin to the estimates of body fat were maintained, and leptin was furthermore related to BMI and fasting insulin. In multiple linear regression analyses, additional estimates of visceral adiposity (intraabdominal fat and maximal anterior-posterior diameter determined by CT scan) were significant determinants of leptin in the healthy subjects. The increase in fasting insulin levels during GH substitution correlated negatively with the reduction in leptin levels (r = -.823, P = .003). At baseline, leptin levels were increased in the patients compared with controls in both sexes (women, 21.8 +/- 3.3 v 11.3 +/- 1.4 ng/mL, P = .002; men, 8.1 +/- 1.2 v 4.7 +/- 0.7 ng/mL, P = .008). Leptin levels were similar in GHD patients treated for 12 months compared with healthy controls for both women and men (women, 15.9 +/- 2.3 and 11.3 +/- 1.4 ng/mL, P = .163; men, 7.1 +/- 2.8 and 4.7 +/- 0.7 ng/mL, P = .759). In healthy adults and in GHD patients, leptin levels were significantly higher in women than in men (11.3 +/- 1.4 v 4.7 +/- 0.7 ng/mL, P < .001; 21.8 +/- 3.3 v 8.1 +/- 1.2 ng/mL, P < .001). Gender remained a significant determinant of leptin levels in several models of multiple linear regression analysis also including age, estradiol levels, insulin, and estimates of body fat. We conclude that leptin is increased but not differently regulated in GHD patients compared with normal subjects, and that leptin levels are closely related to estimates of body fat. This relationship is maintained during a decrease in body fat due to GH substitution." @default.
