Interesting, Leptin is a protein produced by fats that appear to play an important role in how the body manages fat storage through brain signals. Current research has now found that it does decrease appetite. There is clear evidence that green tea's polyphenols (EGCG) are a factor in depressing leptin as well as affecting other hormone levels important in regulating appetite.
