what is this leptin and how is it related to infertility?

Is it a fertility medication?

leptin has something to do with energy balance. leptin balance way beyond the normal can lead to poor egg quality.

It also has something to do with extreme exercise and fat loss...

that's all I can remember... :(

maybe if you have too much or too little leptin this screws up with your body fat making it hard to get pregnant?


SJ23 - September 15th, 2010 2:36 AM

Fat or too much of it can cause more hormones to be dumped into the blood stream. This causes hormonal imbalance which makes it hard for a woman to get pregnant.

Leptin regulates energy intake and output. Perhaps if you have too much leptin you are not expending energy and you have fat storages. this is perhaps why you have fertility problems.

So does it follow that obese women have more leptin compared to normal weight women?


RamsesIII - September 17th, 2010 3:40 AM

most probably since leptin makes the hormones get screwed and fat contributes to this.

So we should all weigh within our optimum weight. OR else our hormones get screwed and we have a hard time getting pregnant. This is just not about Leptin but proper and healthy diets and bodies.

exercise to get rid of excess fat. eat a balanced diet to regulate hormones. live a healthy lifestyle and stay away from excess stress.

follow these tips and you dont have to worry about fluctuating leptin levels.

Leptin is an example of a 16kda protein hormone that is produced in the fat cells of the body. I don't think it has to do with infertility.
