Leptin and ghrelin hormones and obesity. is there a connection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There are many hormones that help modulate energy balance in the body. Leptin is one hormone (of many) that makes you feel full. Ghrelin is one hormone (of many) that makes you feel hungry. There are other hormones and neurotransmitters that keep the system redundant and hard to modify.
