Which of the Following Compounds is an Important Satiety Signal

Question

Which of the following compounds is an important satiety signal
A)ADH
B)leptin
C)glucagon
D)glucose

Accepted Answer

Leptin is a hormone produced by adipose tissue (fat cells) that plays a role in regulating energy balance and appetite. When leptin levels are high, it signals to the brain that there is enough energy stores and can lead to feelings of fullness and decreased appetite, making it an important satiety signal. ADH (antidiuretic hormone) plays a role in regulating fluid balance in the body. Glucagon is a hormone that helps to raise blood glucose levels during periods of fasting or low blood sugar. Glucose is a simple sugar that serves as an important source of energy for the body. While it can affect appetite and satiety indirectly, it is not considered a primary satiety signal like leptin.
