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.
Sex hormones. Letâs not forget estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, also known as the minor hormones. Adequate levels of estrogen seem to help in hunger regulation, simulating the soothing âfullâ or satiety effect of serotonin. As anyone familiar with premenstrual binges can attest, an imbalance in the ratio between estrogen and progesterone can trigger intense food cravings.
