Leptin is an adipocyte-secreted hormone and plays an important role in the regulation of energy homeostasis by the inhibition of food intake. Recently a positive correlation between leptin concentration and skinfold thickness has been found in prepubertal and pubertal girls. Evidences about the relation between leptin and subcutaneous fat mass in infancy are scanty.

Abstract
Leptin is an adipocyte-secreted hormone and plays an important role in the regulation of energy homeostasis by the inhibition of food intake. Recently a positive correlation between leptin concentration and skinfold thickness has been found in prepubertal and pubertal girls. Evidences about the relation between leptin and subcutaneous fat mass in infancy are scanty.
