Overview

Leptin may act as the critical link between adipose tissue and the reproductive systém, indicating whather adequate energy reserves are presenting for normal reproductive functions. Future interventional studies involving leptin administration are excepted to further clarify this role of leptin and may provide new therapeutic options for the reproductive dysfunctions associated with states of relative leptin deficiency or resistence.

Key words:
leptin, reproduction, hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.
