Low Leptin Levels Linked to Failed Diets

Date: Friday, December 02, 2005

Source: Daily Mail

Researchers at Columbia University Medical Centre in New York have found that people with low levels of the hormone leptin find it hard to maintain weight loss after dieting. Columbia's Dr Michael Rosenbaum explains that "Leptin fools your body into being happy with a lower weight".

Leptin also plays a part in helping brain cells communicate, an essential part of learning and retaining information. Leptin is produced during sleep, which suggests that shift workers and others with abnormal sleeping patterns may face a higher risk of obesity.
