Absence of Functional Leptin Receptor Isoforms in the POUND (Lepr(db/lb)) Mouse Is Associated with Muscle Atrophy and Altered Myoblast Proliferation and Differentiation

OBJECTIVE: Leptin receptors are abundant in human skeletal muscle, but the role of leptin in muscle growth, development and aging is not well understood. Here we utilized a novel mouse model lacking all functional leptin receptor isoforms (POUND mouse, Lepr(db/lb)) to determine the role of leptin in...
