Leptin is primarily secreted by adipose tissue and acts on the hypothalamus to suppress appetite and increase energy expenditure. Gastrin and secretin are hormones involved in digestion and have no effect on appetite or energy expenditure. Aldosterone is a hormone involved in the regulation of electrolyte balance and blood pressure, and does not affect appetite or energy expenditure.
