Journal Article
Kokolski, M., Ebling, F. J., Henstock, J. R., & Anderson, S. I. (2017). Photoperiod-induced increases in bone mineral apposition rate in Siberian hamsters and the involvement of seasonal leptin changes. Frontiers in Endocrinology, 8, Article 357. https://doi.org/10.3389/fendo.2017.00357

The adipokine leptin regulates energy balance, appetite, and reproductive maturation. Leptin also acts on bone growth and remodeling, but both osteogenic and anti-osteogenic effects have been reported depending on experimental conditions. Siberian ha...
