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.
Epinephrine is the most effective treatment for anaphylaxis, and the shot should be given right away (usually in the thigh). If youâve had an anaphylaxis reaction before, you should carry at least two doses of epinephrine with you at all times.
There are several types of shock: septic shock caused by bacteria, anaphylactic shock caused by hypersensitivity or allergic reaction, cardiogenic shock from heart damage, hypovolemic shock from blood or fluid loss, and neurogenic shock from spinal cord trauma. Treatment for shock depends on the cause.
