[Leptin and thyroid hormones].
Leptin, a satiety hormone is a protein produced by the adipose tissue that regulates appetite and energetic balance of the body. Results of investigations of serum leptin in patients with hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism are controversial. Influence of thyroid hormones on leptin secretion is complex and partially unrecognized.
