Leptin effects on female reproduction
Target Tissue	Biological Process	Biological Function	Mechanism
Hypothalamus	GnRH secretion	Regulation of LH and FSH secretion	Indirectly via kisspeptin
Pituitary	Estrous cycles and ovulation	FSH and LH release; LH plasticity and cyclicity
Ovary	Ovarian steroidogenesis	Estrogen production	P450 aromatase; P450-17α hydroxylase
Ovary	Folliculogenesis	Low leptin promotes follicle development	Promotes the transition of primordial to primary follicles
Embryo	Embryogenesis	Biophysical effect on embryo growth and quality	Stimulates proliferation
Uterus	Angiogenesis	Stimulates metalloproteinase activity	Inhibits terminal differentiation of committed giant cells
