  • Description: Leptin effects regulation of body weight, metabolism and reproductive function. This book talks about the discovery of leptin, and offers a study of its affect on animals and in humans. Chapters focus on the discovery, history, roles and regulation of leptin in the major areas of physiology, as well as on assay methods, phylogeny and genetics
