Leptin for Fat Loss

[Eman]

I have been researching leptin for a bit after reading an article where it's importance is mentioned. It grabbed my curiosity as I wondered if this hormone is something that is sold synthetically to increase fat loss and muscle preservation.

It turned out that it is, although it would appear to be more geared towards the obese with leptin sensitivity issues and it has seen some varying results over the years. Supplementing with leptin appears to have caught quite a few scientist's eyes especially with obesity running rampant in western society. Has anyone ever heard of leptin or pharma myalept being taken during cutting with any results? Interested in hearing from anyone else who is familiar as well.

Interesting study leptin injected into subjects:

Recombinant leptin for weight loss in obese and lean adults: a randomized, controlled, dose-escalation trial. - PubMed - NCBI

Pharmaceutical leptin information :

Hmmx very interesting something to look at for sure. It is a protein hormone so I wonder if there are studies on it throwing off hormone levels when discontinuing use. Something to research

I wonder if there are studies on it throwing off hormone levels when discontinuing use.

I believe there was at least one study that showed it had.

I believe there was at least one study that showed it had.

So then you would have to look at getting hormone levels back in balance when discontinued use. Interesting indeed.
