[Leptin--a new hormone in endocrinology].
Research of recent years has fundamentally revised modern endocrinology. Many organs and tissue that have never before been treated as endocrinal or involved in production of various hormones, became such. In particular, adipose tissue secreting to blood an important hormone--leptin--became the study object of particular interest.
