Leptin Acts as Rodent Antidepressant - CME Teaching Brief - MedPage Today

Leptin Acts as Rodent Antidepressant - CME Teaching Brief - MedPage Today: "
Advise patients who ask that there are little clinical data connecting leptin and depression in humans and what data exist are contradictory.

Note that this study, in rats, shows that leptin levels are changed in a model of depression, and that injections of leptin tend to reverse the effects of depression, implying that the hormone may have an antidepressant effect."/.../
