Leptin is a hormone that is produced by the fat tissue and acts on the brain. Leptin plays a key role in regulating energy balance and body weight in animals and in humans.When a person loses weight, leptin concentration in the blood is reduced. Reduction in blood leptin levels has been found to be related to a decreased metabolic rate (the rate in which the body burns its calories), an increased appetite, and to many other physiological and hormonal changes that may lead to failure in dieting.This study is aimed to test if maintaining leptin in the pre-diet level range will ameliorate the changes that occur in the body during weight loss. If these changes are reduced, the process of weight loss could be easier and faster when adhering to a low calorie diet. Bioleptin Review
