Abstract: Leptin is a protein hormone secreted from white fat cells,the amount of animal feed and energy balance regulation has a significant role.In addition,a growing number of studies have shown that leptin on the reproductive system also has an important role in the regulation.By going through the JAK-STAT pathway and having interaction with KiSS-1/GPR54 system,leptin have a wide-ranging impact on the animals start puberty,the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis,the placenta and uterus.

Key words: leptin; reproduction; hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis; KiSS-1/GPR54 system
