Leptin, a hormone that is known to regulate appetite and weight, also plays a critical role in women's reproductive and neuroendocrine health, a new study has found. The results suggest that the drug may be useful in treating some cases of infertility and exercise-induced bone loss, as well as such eating disorders as anorexia nervosa.

Led by researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), the findings are described in the September 2 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine.
