Effects of leptin repletion on hypometabolism/hyperphagia following weight loss [ Time Frame: 9 months per subject ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ] Subjects are studied at usual weight and during maintenance of a 10% weight reduction while receiving either leptin repletion or a placebo in a single blind crossover design. |

| Official Title ICMJE | Effects of Low-Dose Leptin on the Metabolic/Behavioral Phenotypes of the Formerly-Obese | ||||
| Brief Summary | Our previous studies have demonstrated that there is substantial metabolic opposition to the maintenance of an altered body weight. Leptin is a protein secreted by fat cells and the circulating concentrations of leptin are directly proportional to fat mass. Leptin-deficiency is associated with severe obesity in rodents and in humans and the obesity is relieved by leptin administration. These studies examine the hypothesis that some of this metabolic opposition cto the maintenance of an altered body weight can be relieved by restoring circulating concentrations of the hormone leptin to the same range as at usual body weight in subjects who are maintaining a reduced body weight. The basic design of this study is to observe subjects at a 10% reduced body weight and then again at that reduced body weight while receiving physiological leptin or T3 supplementation. |
