Q: Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which is primarily dissolved CO2. Dissolved CO2 satisfies the equilibrium equation CO2(g) CO2(aq) K=0.032 The acid dissociation constants listed in most standard reference texts for carbonic acid actually apply to dissolved CO2.
1 Fiber is also great for leptin levels, mainly because it keeps you feeling full -- and generally fiber-rich foods are natural and good for you in other ways, too. 2  Peas, beans, lentils, almonds, raspberries, broccoli, and oats are all great sources.
Obese people have unusually high levels of leptin. This is because in some obese people, the brain does not respond to leptin, so they keep eating despite adequate (or excessive) fat stores, a concept known as âleptin resistanceâ. This causes the fat cells to produce even more leptin. This is similar to the way people with type 2 diabetes have unusually high levels of insulin, as their body is resistant to the effects of insulin. The cause of leptin resistance is still unclear.
