Claims14
A method of screening for the presence of a leptin-mimetic agent, comprising contacting a candidate leptin-mimetic agent with a cell or cell line that expresses angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) in response to leptin and determining the activation of expression from the Ang-2 promoter compared to leptin as a positive control, wherein activation of said promoter identifies the presence of a leptin-mimetic agent.
