LeptinLeptin is produced by fat cells in response to is produced by fat cells in response to excess fat storage. excess fat storage. Leptin regulates body weight by decreasing Leptin regulates body weight by decreasing food intake, increasing energy expenditure, and food intake, increasing energy expenditure, and inhibiting fatty acid synthesis. inhibiting fatty acid synthesis.
