Leptin Induces Sca-1(+) Progenitor Cell Migration Enhancing Neointimal Lesions in Vessel-Injury Mouse Models

OBJECTIVE—: Leptin is an adipokine initially thought to be a metabolic factor. Recent publications have shown its roles in inflammation and vascular disease, to which Sca-1(+) vascular progenitor cells within the vessel wall may contribute. We sought to elucidate the effects of leptin on Sca-1(+) pr...
