Hormonal control of appetite and body fat. Leptin and ghrelin seem to be the big players in regulating appetite, which consequently influences body weight/fat. When we get hungrier, we tend to eat more. When we eat more, obviously, we maintain our body weight or gain that weight back. Both leptin and ghrelin are peripheral signals with central effects. In other words, theyâre secreted in other parts of the body (peripheral) but affect our brain (central). Leptin is secreted primarily in fat cells, as well as the stomach, heart, placenta, and skeletal muscle. Leptin decreases hunger. Ghrelin is secreted primarily in the lining of the stomach. Ghrelin increases hunger. Both hormones respond to how well-fed you are; leptin usually also correlates to fat mass â the more fat you have, the more leptin you produce.
Leptin is a cell-signalling hormone vital in the regulation of appetite, food intake and body weight.Studies have shown that an absence of leptin in the body or leptin resistance can lead to uncontrolled feeding and weight gain.y contrast, when fat mass increases, so do leptin levels and appetite is suppressed until weight loss occurs. In this way leptin regulates energy intake and fat stores so that weight is maintained within a relatively narrow range. Leptin also plays an important role in regulating and modulating the onset of puberty.
