Leptin is one of the hormones released by the adipose tissues or the body fat. It helps the body maintain its average weight on a long-term basis. It does so by regulating the hunger pangs by offering a feeling of fullness and satiety. So, this hormone sends a signal to the body that it's full, thus minimizing hunger.

Leptin aids in the regulation of the balance between the body's food intake and its energy expenditure. It helps control the hunger, regulates your body’s energy and ensures no hunger response is triggered, thus not curbing the intake of excess calories.

The hormone works on your hypothalamus and brainstem, although there are leptin receptors throughout your body. It doesn't influence your hunger level and food consumption in every meal but instead alters the overall food intake and controls the energy usage over a long period. So, your weight remains stable for a good long period.

When you lose weight, your adipose tissue reduces, and so do your leptin levels, which signals your body that you're starving. It inadvertently stimulates a sensation of hunger and increased appetite, which leads to higher food consumption.

If your leptin levels are higher than suggested, it could result in hyperleptinemia and obesity. This can eventually also lead to leptin resistance. It can also direct your body into a state of constant starvation, which causes your brain to use less energy and calories.

Overall, it contributes to obesity due to decreasing metabolism and stimulating hunger.

Leptin resistance may occur due to any of the following reasons:

  • Overeating
  • Too little sleep
  • Extreme stress
  • High insulin levels
  • Too much sugar consumption
  • High triglyceride levels
  • Toxin overload
  • Too little sunlight
  • Excessive or no exercise
  • Snacking and smoking

You will notice the following symptoms if you suffer from leptin resistance:

  • Overweight
  • High level of inflammation
  • Experiencing uncontrollable levels of food or junk craving
  • Unable to lose weight regardless of whatever you try

Your healthcare provider is likely to order a leptin test. It helps measure leptin levels, and if you suffer from its deficiency, it could indicate obesity.

Getting this test helps:

  • Determine the reason behind obesity and overweight
  • Explain the reason for consistent and inexplicable hunger
  • Detect the accurate levels of leptin which may indicate a disorder
  • Devise an effective treatment plan to help bring your leptin levels to an appropriate number
