The Leptin test measures the level of leptin, a hormone produced by fat cells that helps regulate appetite, energy balance, and body weight. Leptin signals the brain about the body’s energy stores and plays a role in metabolism and fat regulation.
This test is commonly used to evaluate metabolic health and may help assess leptin resistance, obesity-related metabolic concerns, or unexplained weight changes. Leptin levels are often interpreted alongside insulin, glucose, and other metabolic markers to provide insight into energy regulation and hormonal balance.
