Pleiotropic nature of leptin. Since its discovery in 1994, several physiological functions have been attributed to leptin, such as modulation of vascular function, reproduction, bone metabolism, inflammation, infection, and immune responses, behind central regulation of food intake, energy expenditure and hormone regulation, via activation of leptin receptor (LEPR).
