Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When not in the fight or flight state, vertebrates are typically in a rest and digest state, where the body focuses on energy storage and maintenance rather than mobilization of energy. Leptin is a hormone that helps to regulate energy balance by inhibiting hunger, which would be consistent with a state of energy conservation and maintenance rather than the active mobilization of energy stores.
