What Leptin Is. Leptin is a hormone secreted by adipose tissue (fat cells) that tells you youâre full. (Its opposite hormone is called ghrelin, which tells you youâre hungry. You can remember this because the word ghrelin sounds like a stomach growling.) Because leptin is secreted by fat cells, you produce more leptin as your weight increases.
