Product detailed description
Checking Leptin
A leptin blood test is a laboratory test that measures the amount of leptin, a hormone produced by fat cells (adipocytes) in the body.
Leptin plays a key role in regulating the body's energy balance by signaling information to the brain about the amount of fat stored, which helps regulate hunger and energy use. Blood leptin levels are typically higher in people with a higher percentage of body fat and can be affected by a number of factors, including diet, sleep and physical activity.
The test is used to evaluate the role of leptin in people who are obese or at risk for metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.</p
