Diet Pills Research and Leptin
Research into Leptin Diet Pills
In 1994, a Rockefeller University scientist
identified a mouse gene that makes a protein called leptin. Mice bred
without the leptin-producing gene grew to be grossly obese while those
with higher levels of leptin stayed slim.
The fervent hope was by creating new diet
pills containing leptin, dieters might finally get the help they need
to resist overeating.
But follow-up studies showed that, thanks
to genetics or lifestyle patterns, many overweight people and nearly all
obese people tested already have unusually high levels of leptin in their
blood and seem to lose their sensitivity to it.
So it seems research into leptin diet pills
is back to the drawing board.
