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.
If there was a hormone in your body whose chief job was to make you feel hungry, most of us probably wouldn't be too keen on it. (I don't know about you, but having a healthy appetite has never been a problem for me.) But if there was a hormone that decreased our appetites, we'd order buckets of it! Well, let me introduce you to some hormones that do just those things: the hunger hormones, leptin and ghrelin. Leptin is a hormone, made by fat cells, that decreases your appetite. Ghrelin is a hormone that increases appetite, and also plays a role in body weight. Levels of leptin -- the appetite suppressor -- are lower when you're thin and higher when you're fat.
