Updated January 26, 2017. A pluot is a stone fruit, which is a hybrid between a plum and an apricot, so I think their nutritional value should be somewhat similar to the two parent fruits. Although I don't know specific amounts, I think it's a safe bet that pluots are high in vitamin C, potassium, vitamin A and fiber.
Leptin (from Greek Î»ÎµÏÏÏÏ leptos, thin), the satiety hormone, is a hormone made by adipose cells that helps to regulate energy balance by inhibiting hunger. Leptin is opposed by the actions of the hormone ghrelin, the hunger hormone.
hunger [AS. hungur] HORMONES AFFECTING HUNGER. 1. A sensation resulting from lack of food, characterized by a dull or acute pain referred to the epigastrium or lower part of chest.
