Also known as “satiety hormone”, leptin is produced by your white fat cells. It regulates appetite and metabolism by signaling your brain to stop eating when full, or to store when your body isn’t getting enough food. It plays a role in both diabetes and weight gain. Your leptin levels increase when you gain fat, and decrease when you lose fat.
