The Leptin test is a blood test that measures the level of leptin, a hormone produced by fat cells that helps regulate appetite, body weight, and energy balance. Leptin signals the brain about the body’s fat stores and plays a key role in controlling hunger and metabolism.

Abnormal leptin levels may be associated with conditions such as obesity, metabolic disorders, eating disorders, and hormonal imbalances. High leptin levels may indicate leptin resistance, commonly seen in obesity, while low levels may be linked to inadequate fat stores or certain endocrine conditions.

This test is useful in understanding weight-related issues and evaluating metabolic health.

The purpose of the Leptin Test is to

• To measure leptin hormone levels in the blood
• To evaluate body fat regulation and metabolism
• To assess causes of obesity or weight changes
• To detect hormonal or metabolic imbalances
• To support diagnosis of eating or endocrine disorders
