Leptin, Pegylated (mouse), (recombinant)

Recombinant mouse pegylated leptin is capable of stimulatng proliferation of BAF/3 cells stably transfected with the long form of human leptin receptor. Its in vitro activity is only slightly lower than the non-pegylated recombinant mouse leptin but in vivo it has profound weight reducing effect (as compared to the non-pegylated recombinant mouse leptin), resulting mainly from reduced food intake.
