In the event that there was a hormone in your body whose main occupation was to make you feel ravenous, most of us probably wouldn't be too enthusiastic about it. (I don't know about you, yet having a healthy appetite has never been a problem for me.) But assuming there was a hormone that decreased our appetites, we'd arrange cans of it!
All things considered, let me introduce you to certain hormones that do only those things: the "hunger hormones," leptin and ghrelin.
Leptin is a hormone, made by fat cells, that decreases your appetite. Ghrelin is a hormone that increases appetite, and also plays a job in body weight.
Levels of leptin - - the appetite suppressor - - are lower when you're thin and higher when you're fat. Be that as it may, many hefty individuals have developed a resistance to the appetite-suppressing impacts of leptin.
