APOE — LEP
Text-mined interactions from Literome
Huang et al., Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 2007
(Weight Loss) :
The increase in adipose tissue
apoE expression in this model, however, did not
require leptin
Shen et al., Physiol Behav 2009
(Body Weight...) :
Up-regulation of
apolipoprotein E by
leptin in the hypothalamus of mice and rats ... To characterize the
effect of
leptin on
apoE gene expression, ob/ob and db/db mice were treated with recombinant mouse leptin ( 3 microg/g daily, i.p. ) or vehicle for 5 days ... We found that the increased hypothalamic apoE mRNA levels occurred only in leptin treated ob/ob, but not in pair fed ob/ob, or db/db, mice, indicating that
leptin up-regulated hypothalamic
apoE gene expression depends upon an intact leptin receptor, and this effect is not related to the changes in food intake and body weight
