research Leptin and the skin: a new frontier

108 citations , July 2009 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This review discusses the role of leptin in skin biology and pathology, highlighting its potential in enhancing skin regeneration, hair cycle progression, and wound healing, but reports no new clinical results.

research Hair cycle control by leptin as a new anagen inducer

41 citations , November 2013 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study found that leptin acts as an inducer of the anagen phase in hair follicles, suggesting its role as a potential player in hair biology.

research Human Follicular Papilla Cells Carry Out Nonadipose Tissue Production of Leptin

37 citations , December 2001 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that human follicular papilla cells in the scalp produce leptin and express functional leptin receptors, suggesting leptin's significant role in hair biology.

research Leptin of dermal adipose tissue is differentially expressed during the hair cycle and contributes to adipocyte‐mediated growth inhibition of anagen‐phase vibrissa hair

30 citations , October 2014 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study found that leptin from dermal white adipose tissue may regulate hair growth and cycle progression through its receptor on hair follicle epithelium in mice and humans.
