Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Leptin is the hormone responsible for communicating satiety to the brain. It is released from adipose tissue in response to an increase in fat supplies in cells and reduces food intake by acting on the hypothalamus in the brain. Glucose, estrogen, and melatonin do not have a direct role in regulating appetite and satiety.
