Leptin is the hormone produced by fat cells that travels in the bloodstream and signals to the brain to reduce appetite or increase fat burning. Ghrelin is produced in the stomach, stimulates appetite, and opposes the actions of leptin. Glycerol is a component of fat molecules, and glucose is a sugar used for energy production.
