Abstract in brief

  • Leptin is a hormone produced by fat tissue that helps regulate energy balance, body weight, and reproductive functions.
  • While leptin can cause significant weight loss in individuals with deficiency, most obese people are resistant to its effects, making it less effective for weight reduction in those cases.
  • Recent research suggests leptin is more important as an indicator of energy deficiency, helping the body adapt by increasing food intake and affecting hormonal functions, with its potential for therapeutic use in weight management and related conditions.
