"This study investigated gender-specific patterns of plasma leptin during adolescence, assessed which adiposity measurements are most strongly associated with plasma leptin, and estimated to what degree leptin-adiposity associations are influenced by genetic factors. Plasma leptin concentrations were determined using a sandwich immunoassay. Associations between plasma leptin and several …
