Role of leptin in regulation of appetite and why it may be successful for treatment for a child
with severe on set obesity
Leptin, a hormone secreted by adipocytes, acts on the hypothalamus to regulate appetite and
neuroendocrine function. It is being used for regulating the intake of food which has been done
by an individual. The role of leptin is to control obesity. It has also been analysed that excess
cells will produce leptin. The excess of leptin can lower down the appetite and because of which
child can face severe issue. It has also been analysed that the excess of leptin which will trigger
the hypothalamus to lower the appetite. Research has provided the details that when any
individual is obese in nature their body will have excessive leptin. They can also have high
amount of leptin in blood and this can make body obese. Leptin can be used in treatment of child
which has severe obesity (McGregor and Harvey.,2018). The hormone leptin is being developed
by adipose tissue. It has been evaluated that most of the children are suffering from issue of
obesity, this can worsen their health outcome and condition. For overcoming this problem Leptin
can be used to treat obesity. It has also been analysed and evaluated that leptin and pathways of
insulin may combine and this can create the metabolic syndrome. It has been analysed from the
research that leptin can be used in regulating the appetite of obese child. The appetite is basically
desire to eat the food. When there is excessive Leptin than the desire to eat food can be increased
and because of this a child or any individual can become obese (Crean-Tate and Reizes., 2018).
This can also affect their health as well as well-being aspects. They can also face issues in
future life. There are various hormones which are involved in regulating the appetite. It has been
analysed that the other hormone includes GIP-1, GLP. All these hormones can regulate the way
an individual can eat. They can become obese if there is more secretion of this type of enzyme. It
has also been analysed that the other hormone which can regulate the appetite is situated in
adipose tissue. In this leptin receptor OB-RB is been taken into consideration. The leptin can also
be used in the treatment of obesity for children. Scientist has developed the ways by which leptin
can be used and utilised in the treatment of obesity. They can be cured person who are been
suffering from severe obesity disorder. The adipokine leptin is thought to act by decreasing food
intake. This will assist the child in making sure that they do not consume that food which is
