Leptin Research Snippets
  • The protein hormone Leptin is encoded by the obesity (ob) gene, and has been identified in published research as a principal modulator of body weight and metabolism
  • Leptin acts centrally in the brain's hypothalamic centers, where it mediates weight loss by decreasing hunger and food consumption
  • Leptin directs signaling to the brain to control eating and induce satiety
  • Leptin disposes of cellular fat by up-regulating thermogenesis and metabolic rate, clinical findings show that the vast majority of overweight people in fact have elevated levels of Leptin due to "Leptin Resistance"
  • When brain levels of Leptin are low due to "Leptin Resistance" - even if there are high circulating blood levels of Leptin - food cravings and weight gain occur because the body believes that it is hungry and goes into a state of continued fat storag
