Leptin is a hormone found that reduces hunger signals from the brain, thereby suppressing food intake. African mango helps in leptin formation and regulation. Obese or fat people produce a lot of leptin as a result of which it becomes less effective in reducing hunger. African mango also increases Adiponectin, a protein which regulates glucose levels.
