ABSTRACT = {Leptin was discovered as an adipostat, regulating body weight by balancing food intake and energy
expenditure. Recently, leptin emerged as a pleiotropic cytokine. It plays a substantial role in a wide spectrum of
other functions including immune regulation, bone formation and fertility. Leptin signalling is under tight control.
Aberrations of this stringent control system may be implicated in a variety of pathologies. Here, we review the
various mechanisms that control cellular leptin receptor signalling.},
