Message definition (Adipose tissue)
Leptin, however, plays a different role in diet-induced obesity in rodents and humans. Because adipocytes produce leptin, leptin levels are elevated in the obese. However, hunger remains, and—when leptin levels drop due to weight loss—hunger increases. The drop of leptin is better viewed as a starvation signal than the rise of leptin as a [[satiety]] signal. However, elevated leptin in obesity is known as [[Leptin#Leptin resistance and obesity|leptin resistance]]. The changes that occur in the hypothalamus to result in leptin resistance in obesity are currently the focus of obesity research.
