Question

Which option is the best described as a hormone that includes feelings of satiety

Answer 1

The hormone that is best described as influencing feelings of satiety is **leptin**. Leptin is produced by adipose (fat) tissues and plays a crucial role in regulating energy balance by inhibiting hunger, which helps to manage body weight. When fat stores increase, leptin levels rise, signaling the brain to reduce appetite and increase energy expenditure, contributing to the sensation of fullness or satiety.
