Leptin near me in New Delhi

The Leptin test is a blood test that measures leptin, a protein hormone produced by fat cells that plays a key role in regulating energy balance, body weight, and energy intake and expenditure, including appetite and metabolism. This test is performed to determine the cause of obesity, unexplained hunger especially if there is family history of early-onset obesity. It can help diagnose leptin resistance, a condition commonly associated with obesity, where the brain no longer responds effectively to leptin, leading to increased hunger and overeating. By measuring leptin levels, the test assists doctors in understanding the underlying causes of obesity and guiding effective treatment strategies for weight management.
