<span>Leptin. Leptin is produced by fat cells and released when your body has enough fat in storage. When leptin reaches the brain, it gives your body a feeling of fullness so that you will not want to continue eating. Individuals with leptin resistance, where the leptin hormone signals are not received as they should be, are often overweight because they do not have the same brain signals telling them that their body is full.</span>

julsineya [31]

Answer:

The correct option is the pKa of acetic acid or acetate.

Explanation:

The blood pH is affected by hyperventilation since it triggers hypercapnia, an increase in metabolic acids and therefore a decrease in blood pH.

Excessive consumption of sodium bicarbonate, since this would alkalize the blood, and finally, prolonged fasting or excessive hunger generates the degradation of fat sources, with the consequent formation of ketone bodies as a product, and therefore entering a metabolic acidosis.
