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.
