Hormone Leptin

Anyone have any new info on Leptin research (for bodyfat reduction)?

See the thread about insulin index of carbs. It has a link to the article at ministry of fitness dot com.

FYI: There is a new diet drug in clinical trials called Axokine. The action of the drug is similar to leptin but where some people are resistant to leptin (at the blood/brain barrier) Axokine forces its pathway. I have seen research on leptin use that indicate significant weight loss where 95% of the weight loss is fat (very muscle sparing). If Axokine does what they claim we will be entering a new era. If permitted here’s a link:
