| Research Abstract |
Leptin, which is synthesized by lipocytes, is involved in osteoblast differentiation and increases in bone mass, and low body fat is considered to be a more serious risk factor than a reduced load. In this study, we evaluated the effects of body fat, estrogen, and leptin on bone density. In young adult females of the lean or normal body type, Ca absorption from the intestinal tract is strongly genetically affected, but it was suggested that leptin in lipocytes contributes to the maintenance of bone density in hidden obesity.
