ABSTRACT:
A method for restoring reproductive function in a reproductively impaired male or female host is disclosed, the method comprising administering a leptin compound to the host for a time and in an amount sufficient to restore or enhance reproductive function. A method of accelerating the onset of puberty in a male or female host is also disclosed, the method comprising administering a leptin compound to the host for a time and in an amount sufficient to cause the onset of puberty.
