Which of These is a Theory of Satiety Involving the Hormone

Question

Which of these is a theory of satiety involving the hormone leptin
A)hydrostatic theory
B)glucostatic theory
C)lipostatic theory
D)ischymetric theory

Accepted Answer

The lipostatic theory proposes that the hormone leptin, which is secreted by adipose tissue, acts as a signal to provide feedback to the brain about the body's fat stores. When fat stores increase, leptin levels increase, sending a signal to the brain to decrease hunger and increase energy expenditure, ultimately leading to a decrease in body weight. Conversely, when fat stores decrease, leptin levels decrease, signaling the brain to increase hunger and decrease energy expenditure, ultimately leading to an increase in body weight.
