Several studies have implicated leptin in the pathogenesis of chronic autoimmune inflammatory conditions such as autoimmune encephalomyelitis, intestinal bowel inflammation and type-1 diabetes. This review focuses on the role of leptin in non-autoimmune inflammatory diseases that include renal, liver and lung inflammation, atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome, Behcets disease and endometriosis.\nKeywords: Leptin, inflammation, metabolism\n31","source_license":"public-domain-us","license_restricted":false}
