In reply to Leptin For Depression + Weight Loss, posted by Phillipa on July 8, 2009, at 23:58:02
Phillipa,
Quote from Wikipedia:
"There is some controversy regarding the regulation of leptin by melatonin during the night. One research group suggested that increased levels of melatonin caused a downregulation of leptin.[10] However, in 2004, Brazilian researchers found that in the presence of insulin, "melatonin interacts with insulin and upregulates insulin-stimulated leptin expression", therefore causing a decrease in appetite whilst sleeping.[11]"Hence the reason being why I find it easier to loose weight whilst being on Agomelatine???
Love, M.
