Pregnant mommas must make a tough choice: preserve energy for themselves or invest it in their little ones. Now new research suggests that higher levels of the hormone leptin may fool a hamster’s ...
Twenty years after the hormone leptin was found to regulate metabolism, appetite, and weight through brain cells called neurons, researchers have found that the hormone also acts on other types of ...
Leptin, the hormone secreted by fat cells that plays an important role in food intake, has been described for the first time in a cold-blooded vertebrate, the South African clawed frog Xenopus. Leptin ...
