Leptin levels regulates

The role of leptin in human physiology is not restricted to body weight control throngh regulation of food intake and energy expenditure. In addition, leptin levels are also known to affect bone metabolism, the immune system, and reproduction. [Pg.241]

Leptin is not the only player in regulation of food intake. There are several other players, including insulin and a number of hormones secreted by the gut. Insulin plays a key role. The blood levels of insulin are proportional to the amount of body fat. Insulin acts in the brain to decrease food intake. Therefore, insulin also acts to maintain body weight constant in addition to its multiple effects on glucose homeostasis. [Pg.241]
