Leptin is a cytokine produced by adipocytes, and plays a key role in the regulation of energy balance. In the present study, we measured plasma leptin concentrations of 166 normal and obese dogs visiting veterinary practices, and clarified the influence of age, gender and breed on plasma leptin...
The brain contains a very high concentration of the essential omega-3 fatty acid (FA) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which plays an important role in the normal development and function of the brain. Deficiency of DHA is associated with several neurological diseases, including Alzheimer’s, schizophre...
