Understanding Leptin Human
Leptin is a protein hormone secreted by fat (adipose) tissue. It regulates appetite and energy expenditure. Leptin signals the brain, particularly the hypothalamus, about energy stored in fat cells.
Normally, sufficient fat stores raise leptin levels. This helps suppress hunger and prevents overeating. However, many people with obesity develop leptin resistance. Despite high leptin levels, the brain does not respond properly. This causes persistent hunger, overeating, and difficulty losing weight.
