What is Leptin and Insulin?

 

Leptin is something that when you’re eating your leptin will tell you when you’ve eaten enough/too much. But the one problem is that there’s something called Insulin. Insulin can actually block the signal that the Leptin sends to your brain, wich causes you to overeat/eat too much and that can cause you to become obese. Now you see, Leptin is an important thing and Insulin can actually be a big threat towards your body and your lifestyle. Like they say.., the more Insulin, the more fat.

 

Insulin is a hormone made by beta cells in the pancreas. When we eat, insulin is released into the blood stream where it helps to move glucose from the food we have eaten into cells to be used as energy.

 

Leptin, a hormone released from the fat cells located in adipose tissues, sends signals to the hypothalamus in the brain. This particular hormone helps regulate and alter long-term food intake and energy expenditure, not just from one meal to the next. The primary design of leptin is to help the body maintain its weight.
