Plasma insulin, cholecystokinin, galanin, neuropeptide Y and leptin levels in obese women with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus
IEPA.d183.s438
Experimental studies provided evidences that leptin, cholecystokinin (CCK), galanin (GAL), neuropeptide Y (NPY) and insulin are involved in feeding behaviour
IEPA.d183.s439
Plasma concentrations of FSH, leptin, CCK, GAL, NPY and insulin were determined using commercial RIA kits
IEPA.d183.s440
Our results, ie higher mean plasma NPY levels in postmenopausal diabetic women and positive correlation of CCK with leptin and insulin, may suggest the role of these neuropeptides in metabolic disorders leading to type 2 diabetes mellitus
