Abstract:
Leptin, a hormone that increases with obesity, was suggested to either accelerate or protect from atherosclerosis. Here, we identify a critical role for leptin/leptin receptor pathway in the modulation of the regulatory immune response in atherosclerosis, and suggest that alteration in regulatory immunity may predispose obese individuals to atherosclerosis.
