Leptin Levels Predict The Development of Insulin Resistance In A Sample Of Adult Men - The Olivetti Heart Study

ConclusionsThe results of this prospective study suggest a predictive role of circulating LPT levels on a reduction of insulin sensitivity over time, independently of main potential confounders, in non-diabetic men without IR at baseline. In addition, in normal weight individuals, LPT levels were associated with development of IR.
