What is the function of leptin?
Leptin is a hormone that is released from the fat tissue in the body. It is an adipose cytokine. When the adipose tissue is high, it releases more leptin giving signals to the hunger area of the brain so that one feels full and stops eating. If no leptin reaches the brain, then one feels extremely hungry, and they keep eating even though they are obese and have a lot of fat tissue.
What happens when leptin levels are too high?
When the leptin levels are high, that means the fat tissue has released a lot of leptin in the blood. But because of constant high levels, desensitization to leptin happens leading to leptin resistance. This makes the brain insensitive to leptin levels and does not send the `feeling full´ signal leading to overeating, excessive hunger, and obesity.
What happens when leptin levels are too low?
If leptin levels are low, the brain does not get the signal of feeling full. This makes the brain go into starvation mode and makes a person feel hungry all the time. This leads to overeating and obesity. It also leads to increased insulin production, fatty liver, and poorly developed sex organs
