Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Leptin has been shown to have an indirect effect on bone metabolism and the deposition of calcium into bone. Leptin deficiency has been associated with reduced bone formation and increased bone resorption, leading to decreased bone mass and increased risk of fractures. Leptin appears to act through complex regulatory pathways involving several signaling molecules such as insulin-like growth factor 1, osteoprotegerin, and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand.
