Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Leptin is a hormone that regulates appetite and metabolism. It signals the brain to reduce appetite when enough food has been consumed. Research has shown that when a person is well-fed, leptin dulls the tongue's sensitivity to sweet tastes, making them less appealing. This may help prevent overeating and maintain a healthy weight. Options A and C are not accurate statements.
