Stan, Its been know for some time that there is a correlation between serum leptin levels and fat (more fat equals more leptin in the blood), so I'm not sure what is new in that article. LGND really has two approaches. One is to increase the leptin levels via small molecules that interact with proteins associated with the leptin promoter and the other is to influence signalling in the brain.
