摘要
Leptin is an endocrine and a growth factor which is important for regulation of body fat, feeding, and energy homeostasis. The anti-obesity function of leptin has been recently extended to reproduction, puberty and pregnancy as an endocrine signal to the hypothalamus. Leptin controls the functional integrity of the feto-placental unit thereby maintaining pregnancy by virtue of its immunomodulatory property via T lymphocytes or other proto-oncogenes. Dysregulation of autocrine/paracrine function of leptin at feto-placento-maternal interface may be implicated in the pathogenesis of recurrent miscarriage gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia and intra-uterine fetal growth retardation including disturbance of fetal bone turnover. This review will focus on the role of leptin in normal and abnormal pregnancy and fetal growth. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
