Extract

Circulating leptin, the obese gene product secreted by adipocytes, is sensitive to short-term (meals, starvation) and long-term (spontaneous food intake, food restriction) changes in energy balance in sheep (Marie et al 2001). The present study aimed to explore relationships between adiposity, adipose tissue from different sites and blood leptin concentrations in rams kept in long days when adiposity is normally high.
