    Glossary Leptin

    hormone from fat cells that signals to reduce appetite

    Leptin is a hormone produced by fat cells that helps regulate body weight by signaling the brain to reduce appetite and increase energy expenditure. It plays a crucial role in maintaining energy balance and is involved in various physiological processes, including metabolism and immune function.
