STAT3-dependent and STAT3-independent pathways of leptin signaling. Our previous data show that the effects of central leptin on the regulation of food intake, liver glucose production and luteinizing hormone secretion are STAT3-dependent. MBH leptin controls adipose tissue metabolism and anandamide levels independently of STAT3 signaling, leading to a decrease in body adiposity.
