Expression of placental leptin and leptin receptor transcripts in early pregnancy and at term.

Objective: To demonstrate the expression of messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts for placental leptin and leptin receptor in early gestation and at term, to quantitate transcriptional changes relative to stage of gestation, to localize transcripts within specific placental cell types, and to determine i...
