Plasma leptin and ob gene mRNA levels were increased in mice following bacterial peritonitis, and blocking an endogenous tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) response blunted the increase. However, plasma leptin concentrations did not correlate with the associated anorexia. We conclude that leptin expression is under partial regulatory control of TNF-alpha in peritonitis, but the anorexia is not dependent on increased leptin production.
细菌性腹膜炎后小鼠血浆瘦素和ob基因mRNA水平升高,阻断内源性肿瘤坏死因子α(TNF-α)反应可减弱这种升高。然而,血浆瘦素浓度与相关的厌食症并无关联。我们得出结论,在腹膜炎中瘦素表达受TNF-α的部分调控,但厌食症并不依赖于瘦素产生的增加。
