Abstract
We found that leptin serum levels decreased significantly over the first posttransplant year. However, the effect of transplantation on insulin resistance appears to be transitory, and BF% also increases steadily in this period. The beneficial profile of leptin levels is counterbalanced by the detrimental effects of insulin resistance and BF% that may be related to the elevated cardiovascular risk observed after transplantation.
