“Pretreatment of these cells with anti-leptin receptor (Ob-R) antibody, protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors, calphostin C, and GF109203X, or the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine NAC ) blocked the effects of leptin.”
“ Leptin expression was suppressed by AngII receptor blockers, an ROS scavenger [ NAC (N-acetylcysteine)], an ERK (extracellular-signal-regulated kinase) pathway inhibitor (PD98059) and ERK siRNA.”
“Results Serum levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), total testosterone, cholester- ol and triglyceride, insulin and leptin significantly reduced in the MTF and NAC groups compared to the placebo (p<0.01).”
