The association between leptin concentration and blood coagulation: Results from the NEO study

The adipocyte-derived hormone leptin has been associated with altered blood coagulation in in vitro studies. However, it is unclear whether this association is relevant in vivo and to what extent this association is influenced by total body fat. Therefore, we aimed to examine the association between serum leptin and blood coagulation while taking total body fat into account in a population-based cohort study.
