letpin

A

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

generally the bigger you are te more leptin and the thinner you are the less leptin
