Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Leptin and insulin are hormones that are released in response to feeding and act in the brain to reduce food intake and decrease fat stores. This helps to maintain energy balance and prevent excessive weight gain. Increased levels of these hormones are therefore associated with decreased appetite and increased metabolic rate.
