Fish rich diet lowers leptin

...med. This "satiety" aspect of leptin also works in normal weight humans, but as people gain weight the leptin message is muted, Somers felt that in obese people there are higher leptin levels because more leptin is needed to send the message when a person is 'full'. The new findings indicate fish somehow "...
