[Best Syndication News] Leptin is a protein that is related to controlling appetite and weight however it is also serves the brain as well. Researchers from the Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) published a study that appears in the December 16th issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) which saw people had a reduced risk for developing Alzheimer's Disease and dementia with higher levels of Leptin.

The researchers suggest that leptin has a positive effect on how the brain develops and functions. They believe that leptin interacts with how the hippocampus works and could be related to improved memory function by increasing the apolipoprotein E-dependent B amyloid uptake into the cell and reduce brain extracellular concentrations of B-amyloid. By reducing the amount of B-amyloid it could reduce the development of Alzheimer's disease which is a major part that contributes to the condition.
