Question
Chapter 27, Problem 16P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for consideration of leptin as anti-diabetogenic hormone should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Leptin hormone is secreted by the adipose tissues and the small intestine. It functions in regulating the energy balance in the body by inhibiting hunger. It binds to the arcuate nucleus receptors present in the hypothalamus cells. Apples, green tea, almonds, and oatmeal food items are rich in leptin.

What is hepatotoxicity and why is it serious?
Pancreas. Note the exocrine pancreas and the Islets of Langerhan’s also known as the Pancreatic Islets. Which part of the pancreas is endocrine? Label the two cells of the Pancreatic Islet: the alpha and beta cells (you cannot tell them apart unless especially stained). Also, include the delta cells. They produce somatostatin. What does this hormone do?
