The Appetite Hormone Leptin Spurs Dramatic Weight Loss Aug 26, 2010
Leptin, a hormone like messenger protein, is produced in relatively large amounts by fat tissue an in smaller amounts by other peripheral organs, and it often secreted in to the bloodstream, where it travels to the brain and other tissues, causing fat loss and decreased appetite.
Obesity, according to the CDC, or Center for Disease Control, is the number 1 health risk factor facing our society currently. In fact, obesity is associated with higher rates of chronic medical conditions and worse physical health than a lifetime of worse physical health than a lifetime of smoking, poverty or drinking.
The leptin-weight loss connection has been proven in several multi-center studies conducted by theĀ American Medical Association. These studies found that weight loss increased with increased doses of leptin among all subjects. At the highest leptin dose, more than 95% of the subjects weight loss was from fat. No clinically significant adverse side effects were noted or observed throughout the study and following its completion.
Manufactured in the fat cells, leptin tells the brain whether the body has sufficient energy stores, or fat. The hormone sends signals to the hypothalamus, the brain’s eating control center, and tells us when to stop eating.
