Abstract
The multiple effects of leptin are of growing interest, but further studies are needed to elucidate the role of leptin signalling in infectious diseases and sepsis. Because very few human studies are reported, we recommend the need for further research.Better understanding of the pathophysiology of sepsis and the implication of circulating total leptin in this process could help physicians in managing this life-threatening condition.
