________ is a chemical messenger secreted by fat cells that acts as an appetite suppressant.
The first is leptin, which is a hormone secreted by your fat cells that acts as an appetite suppressant. Leptin levels peak when you fill up on food. So, when you eat a lot, your appetite goes away. If you ever said, 'I am so full I couldn't eat another bite,' then in that moment, your body was flooded with leptin.
