摘要
We report here the characterization and functional roles of the leptin receptor (ObR) in bovine adrenal medullary cells. The plasma membranes isolated from bovine adrenal medulla showed a single class of specific binding sites of I-125-leptin with an apparent K-d Of 6.6 nM and B-max of 62 fmol/mg protein. ObRa but not ObRb mRNA was detected in bovine adrenal medulla by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Incubation of cultured adrenal medullary cells with leptin (3-30 nM) for 20 min resulted in a significant increase in [C-14]catecholamine synthesis from [C-14]tyrosine without any change in catecholamine secretion. These findings suggest that leptin stimulates catecholamine synthesis through its receptors in bovine adrenal medullary cells. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Inc.
