Obesity is partly due to the too weak uptake of leptin by the receptor, the individual does not feel the feeling of satiety. And the production of leptin continues. | Obesity is partly due to the too weak uptake of leptin by the receptor, the individual does not feel the feeling of satiety.

Pregnancy diabetes would also be due to the overproduction of the receptor on the wall of the placenta, which would lead to an overproduction of leptin. The LEP-2548G / A gene is thought to increase the risk of this disease. | |||
