"Leptin, a hormone that regulates appetite, causes satiety. In developed countries, a high
percentage of calories comes from table sugar, or sucrose. Animal experiments find that sucrose increases circulating levels of insulin, decreases leptin, and causes obesity. However, rats given zinc supplements with sugar showed normal leptin levels"

"Axokine is a brand new drug with hopes of being a totally

Obese people have leptin resistance; they lose the ability to know when they're full. Axokine apparently bypasses this resistance and
flips the fullness switch"

"The drug, called Axokine, is a genetically engineered version of a natural brain chemical, called
CNTF, that makes new brain cells grow ... [A] remarkable property that distinguishes ... A human trial reported at a medical meeting last month showed that obese people who got the most effective dose of Axokine lost nearly 10 pounds over 12 weeks of treatment. Unlike previous weight loss drugs, these patients did
not immediately regain the weight -- in fact, they lost another pound during the first six weeks they were off the drug, and they kept their lost weight off for a minimum of six weeks after discontinuing the medication ... the drug works a lot like leptin ... Leptin would make a great weight loss drug -- except that
when a person becomes obese, he becomes resistant to it the same way a diabetic person becomes resistant to insulin"
