Abstract
⺠Leptin is one of several adipocyte hormones involved in energy balance. ⺠Leptin has a major role in bone metabolism and has different effects on myelin. ⺠We find leptin receptors within the pathological otic capsule. ⺠We find leptin receptors in the healthy cochlear-vestibular nerve. ⺠The leptin receptors associated with the ear are modified in anorexia.
