What do you know about resistance to leptin? What other information is related to the question?

What will be an ideal response?


For a hormone like leptin to function it must bind to a receptor. This then allows a signal to pass
into the cell. If the hormone levels are low, or the receptor does not work properly then the cells do not
respond to the hormone.
