In obesity, a decreased sensitivity to leptin occurs, resulting in an inability to detect satiety
despite high-energy stores.
Despite of the elevated Leptin levels, obese women
failing to control hunger and modulate their weight.
An important contributor to leptin
resistance are: 1-changes to leptin
receptors in the brain or 2-changes
to the way leptin transport to the brain may be due to high levels of triglycerides
affecting the transport of leptin across the brain or due to the leptin
transporter becoming saturated. or3- alterations occurring during development The
reason for this Leptin resistance can be reversed when directed on a low-energy
diet – Leptin Diet
