Leptin’s metabolic and immune functions can be uncoupled at the ligand/receptor interaction level

The adipocyte-derived cytokine leptin acts as a metabolic switch, connecting the body’s metabolism to high-energy consuming processes such as reproduction and immune responses. We here provide genetic and biochemical evidence that the metabolic and immune functions of leptin can be uncoupled at the...
