Leptin is a hormone produced by fat cells and is an important component in the long term regulation of body weight.
Leptin communicates directly to your brain, telling the brain how much fat is in storage. It controls appetite, energy, and metabolic rate.
Leptin causes fat loss and decreased appetite. It also plays a very important role in calorie intake and calorie burning.
