the link between adiponectin and obesity
adiponectin increases insulin sensitivity so less level means more insulins sensitivity
letpin
leptin tells us to stop eating so so if people have a lack of leptin gene or dysfunciton, it means they dont get the signal to stop eating so there can be a disorder which results in severe childhood obesity - leptin injetion
obese people can also have unusually high levels of leptin but no sensitivity .
generally the bigger you are te more leptin and the thinner you are the less leptin
