Leptin plays a key role in regulating energy intake and energy expenditure, including the regulation of appetite and metabolism. Leptin is produced by adipose tissue and the level of circulating leptin is directly proportional to the total amount of fat in the body. Leptin is also found to stimulate endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis.
