Developmental Expression and Glucocorticoid Control of the Leptin Receptor in Fetal Ovine Lung.

The effects of endogenous and synthetic glucocorticoids on fetal lung maturation are well-established, although the role of leptin in lung development before birth is unclear. This study examined mRNA and protein levels of the signalling long-form leptin receptor (Ob-Rb) in fetal ovine lungs towards...
