Thirty Polish Longwool ewes, which were ovariectomized with estrogen replacement, were used. Treatments consisted of the intravenous injection of control (saline) or recombinant bovine resistin (rbresistin): control (Control; n = 10), a low dose of rbresistin (R1; 1.0 \u03bcg\/kg body weight (BW); n = 10), and a high dose of rbresistin (R2; 10.0 \u03bcg\/kg BW; n = 10). The studies were performed during short-day (SD) and long-day (LD) photoperiods. Leptin and resistin concentrations were determined. Expression levels of a suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)-3 and the long form of the leptin receptor (LeptRb) were determined in selected brain regions, including in the anterior pituitary (AP), hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC), preoptic area (POA), and ventro- and dorsomedial nuclei (VMH\/DMH). The results indicate that resistin induced a consistent decrease in LeptRb (except in POA) and an increase in SOCS-3 expression during the LD photoperiod in all selected brain regions. In conclusion, the results demonstrate that the action of resistin appears to be strongly associated with photoperiod-driven changes in the leptin signaling pathway, which may underlie the phenomenon of central leptin resistance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu11092180","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,11]],"date-time":"2019-09-11T11:26:34Z","timestamp":1568201194000},"page":"2180","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Hypothalamic\u2013Pituitary and Adipose Tissue Responses to the Effect of Resistin in Sheep: The Integration of Leptin and Resistin Signaling Involving a Suppressor of Cytokine Signaling 3 and the Long Form of the Leptin Receptor"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5562-7375","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dorota Anna","family":"Zieba","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Biotechnology, Laboratory of Biotechnology and Genomics, University of Agriculture in Krakow, 30-248 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Weronika","family":"Biernat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Biotechnology, Laboratory of Biotechnology and Genomics, University of Agriculture in Krakow, 30-248 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Malgorzata","family":"Szczesna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Biotechnology, Laboratory of Biotechnology and Genomics, University of Agriculture in Krakow, 30-248 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Kirsz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Biotechnology, Laboratory of Biotechnology and Genomics, University of Agriculture in Krakow, 30-248 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2556-4983","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tomasz","family":"Misztal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Physiology, The Kielanowski Institute of Animal Physiology and Nutrition, Polish Academy of Sciences, Instytucka 3, 05-110 Jab\u0142onna, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"413","DOI":"10.1079\/PNS2004367","article-title":"Appetite regulation and seasonality: Implications for obesity","volume":"63","author":"Adam","year":"2004","journal-title":"Proc.
