Term Name:	leptin-mediated signaling pathway
Synonyms:	adipocytokine signaling pathway, leptin-mediated signalling pathway
Definition:	The series of molecular signals initiated by leptin binding to its receptor on the surface of a cell, and ending with the regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription. Leptin is a hormone manufactured primarily in the adipocytes of white adipose tissue, and the level of circulating leptin is directly proportional to the total amount of fat in the body.
