Leptin also is capable of increasing cellular proliferation and collagen accumulation in the cervix. However, the studies conducted indicate that leptin may not modulate the extra-cellular matrix through matrix metalloproteinases, but leptin appears to play a role in the disorganization of collagen fibers.
