Leptin
A hormone that helps regulate appetite.
Why it matters
Gives insight into how your body manages weight and hunger.
Metabolic syndrome is a syndrome defined by the concurrent presence of multiple metabolic abnormalities that significantly elevate the risk of coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular accident, and type 2 diabetes. The condition is characterized by at least three of the following manifestations: abdominal adiposity, hypertension, impaired fasting glucose, elevated serum triglycerides, and diminished HDL cholesterol. This comprehensive test panel measures four pivotal biomarkers—leptin, adiponectin, resistin, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein—that reflect the underlying inflammatory and endocrine pathology of metabolic dysfunction.
