Leptin receptors and fat regulation

1. Leptin hormone plays key role in regulating energy intake and energy expenditure, including appetite and metabolism
2. Leptin signals to the brain that the body has had enough to eat, or satiety.
3. High amounts of fructose causes leptin resistance and elevated triglycerides.
4. Lectins found in pulses and grains also causes leptin resistence.
5. Fermentation, sprouting, soaking(overnight and removing water) can remove lectins from pulses. Fermentation of grains also remove lectins.
