Abstract

Leptin is a key hormone in the homeostatic regulation of body weight. While past research focused mainly on overall leptin actions, a recent study by Dallner et al. (2019) takes a fresh look at the regulatory elements of the leptin gene locus, providing new insights into processes that modulate leptin levels.
