Target Information
Equine leptin is a hormone primarily secreted by adipose tissue, which plays a crucial role in regulating energy metabolism. It acts on the hypothalamus to suppress appetite and increase energy expenditure through thermogenesis. In horses, serum leptin levels are positively correlated with obesity, indicating its role in body weight regulation. Hyperleptinemia, along with hyperinsulinemia, may predict laminitis in ponies, highlighting its significance in equine metabolic health.
