The Leptin test measures the level of leptin, a hormone primarily produced by adipose (fat) tissue that plays a crucial role in regulating energy balance, appetite, and metabolism. Leptin signals the brain to reduce hunger and increase energy expenditure, making it essential for maintaining body weight.The Leptin test is valuable for understanding metabolic health, guiding treatment strategies for weight management, and providing insights into the physiological mechanisms of hunger and energy regulation.
