Leptin (Mouse) ELISA Kit

Product Overview

A sandwich ELISA kit for the quantitative measurement of Leptin in Serum, plasma, tissue homogenates and other biological fluids.

Leptin, the "satiety hormone", is a hormone made by adipose cells that helps to regulate energy balance by inhibiting hunger. Leptin is opposed by the actions of the hormone ghrelin, the "hunger hormone". Both hormones act on receptors in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus to regulate appetite to achieve energy homeostasis. In obesity, a decreased sensitivity to leptin occurs, resulting in an inability to detect satiety despite high energy stores. 96Trace’s Leptin ELISA kit is a sandwich ELISA assay for the quantitative measurement of Leptin in mouse serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants. The density of color is proportional to the amount of Leptin captured from the samples.
