    _____________________________________________

    Leptin is a hormone produced primarily by fat cells, that, in proper amounts, inhibits food intake and increase caloric burning. Elevated levels of leptin may point to a dysfunction in the body's ability to utilize leptin, and this leptin resistance is considered a factor in obesity, metabolic syndrome, and difficulty losing weight.
