Role of Leptin in the Neuroendocrine and Immune Response to Fasting in Humans
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating r-metHuLeptin and placebo for Fasting. Completed, enrolled 13 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study will be to determine whether giving leptin (r-metHuLeptin) to a person when he or she is fasting will reverse changes in metabolism, and hormone levels, and immune function associated with fasting, which decreases leptin levels.
