Leptin and Ghrelin are hormones that have a role in energy balance. Leptin is made by adipose cells in the small intestine and decreases appetite by inhibiting hunger so it is impactful in inducing weight loss. Ghrelin is produced by cells in the stomach and increases the drive the eat and so is also sometimes referred to as “hunger hormone”

Wow never heard about the role of leptin in oral hygiene but it makes sense considering its hormone of the gastrointestinal tract
