leptin signaling

Leptin signaling refers to the communication process between the hormone leptin and its receptors in the body. Leptin is produced by fat cells and helps regulate energy balance by signaling the brain to reduce hunger and increase energy expenditure. When leptin binds to its receptors, it triggers a cascade of signals that influence appetite, metabolism, and other physiological processes to maintain body weight and regulate fat storage.
