Hi Kristina,
I let your message sit for a day to let someone else answer it. Since
nobody has, leptin is a hormone that regulates appetite (among other
things) primarily through a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. A
condition of leptin resistance, similar to insulin resistance, is
thought to be a contributing factor in obesity.
best wishes,
Ron
