As I mentioned before I was very leptin deficient (level <2) after losing 160lbs and maintaining several yeras a bmi of 20. Another interesting effect I've observed is that I no longer have the scary "apneic" episodes. It used to be that when I was very sleep deprived, I would lose the ability to "breathe", especially while lying down. I had to consciously try to take breaths. I related this to the fact that after extensive sleep deprivation my already low leptin was below the critical point necessary to maintain respiratory function. Scary, right? The apneic episodes were the worst when I was restricting food and lower in weight. Since the replacement I never, ever have apneic episodes even if I am sleep deprived. My immune system is heaps better. Used to get mild cold and flu symptoms whenever I was sleep deprived (due to the higher cortisol, and lower leptin, I suppose). Now I never get cold and flu symptoms even if sleep deprived. I also had a tumor on my pinky that literally ate itself up. Amazing! I Interesting!

Banned? I found a site that lists a leptin-related product, albeit out of stock, that suggests increased dosage with lower bodyfat while never giving the actual amount of leptin-per-serving. I can see why one would increase or decrease the dosage, but are there any numbers on how much leptin is present during maintenence on healthy individuals, for example? I see in the PubMed abstract that the study dealt with only 10mg per day. I would be interested to see the number on how "badly" leptin crashes during a caloric restriction.
