Health News - Leptin Resistance
You know all about this, don't you?...
Well, just in case you don't, Science Daily will enlighten you:
"Leptin is a hormone that plays a role in helping the body to balance food intake with energy expenditure. When leptin isn’t working -- that is, when the body no longer responds to the leptin it produces -- it’s called leptin resistance. Leptin resistance is associated with weight gain and obesity in the face of a high-fat, high-calorie diet."
