Abstract: Leptin has many important pathophysiological effects, such as inhibiting insulin secretion and expression, constraining pancreatic β cell apoptosis and controlling glucose metabolism through skeletal muscle cell and hepatic cell.This review summarizes the phenomena of leptin resistance and leptin gene polymorphism in vivo, particularly emphasizing its correlation with type 2 diabetes and drugs clinical effective.

Key words: leptin, leptin resistance, gene polymorphism, type 2 diabetes
