Some disease are due to an abnormality of the receptor or everywhere in the body which prevent leptin from reaching the receptor. | Some disease are due to an abnormality of the receptor or everywhere in the body which prevent leptin from reaching the receptor. | ||
Obesity is partly due to the too weak uptake | |||
Obesity is partly due to the too weak uptake of leptin by the receptor, the individual does not feel the feeling of satiety. Too few recipients, a mutation of the latter, or an inability for leptin to pass the blood-brain barrier are the causes of this resistance <ref>Le récepteur à la leptine et son role dans le développement de l'obésité : https://www.futura-sciences.com/sante/dossiers/medecine-recepteurs-membranaires-point-mire-medicaments-783/page/4/ </ref>. | |||
Pregnancy diabetes would also be due to the overproduction of the receptor on the wall of the placenta, which would lead to an overproduction of leptin. The LEP-2548G / A gene is thought to increase the risk of this disease. | Pregnancy diabetes would also be due to the overproduction of the receptor on the wall of the placenta, which would lead to an overproduction of leptin.
