Leptin
Test Details: Leptin is a hormone that helps regulate appetite by signalling hunger satisfaction (satiety). This test measures the amount of leptin in the blood, to detect a deficiency that may be contributing to obesity. Insufficient leptin can cause persistent hunger as the body attempts to protect itself from perceived underfeeding.
