Leptin Promotes Fetal Lung Maturity and Upregulates SP-A Expression in Pulmonary Alveoli Type-II Epithelial Cells Involving TTF-1 Activation

The placental hormone leptin has important functions in fetal and neonatal growth, and prevents depressed respiration in leptin-deficient mice. The effect of leptin on respiratory distress suffered by low birth weight and premature infants has been studied. However, it is unclear how leptin enhances...
