Leptin

 * 1) Leptin doesn't help obese people because the brain doesn't know the leptin is there. "Giving leptin only helps in a few extremely rare cases in the world in which people make no leptin at all, which causes them to overeat and become obese. When those people received leptin by injection, they stopped overeating and lost weight. But for the vast majority of people, the treatment won't work, nor is leptin approved as a medical treatment for weight loss." It is thought that "leptin resistance" might play a part in obesity. The obese person has plenty of leptin but the brain doesn't see it. WebMD.
 * 2) Leptin, magnesium, starvation, obesity, and how they are related. "Obese people generally have hyperinsulinemia (high levels of insulin in the blood) and insulin causes fat to be stored in fat cells. Obese people in general cannot satisfy their body’s demands for energy or nutrients by eating. In this scenario, lethargy, hunger and stress is not a cause of obesity, it’s an effect of it (due to the internal starvation). Syndrome X, also known as metabolic syndrome is a combination of insulin resistance, leptin resistance and glucose intolerance."
 * 3) Genetics of leptin, and how it works in general. Oxford Journal.
