85. Leptin is a circulating hormone that is produced by fat cells and plays a role in body metabolism and obesity. It normally b

inds to receptors in the brain and inhibits appetite. Studies have demonstrated that when obese mice that are leptin deficient are injected with leptin they quickly lose their excess weight.

Overweight people have high level of leptin in their blood stream that does not keep in check their appetite, it is due to lack if sensitivity of their leptin binding receptor, it means that the receptor with which leptin is to bind and work effectively is not working properly due to which the hormone is not doing its function well and although found in the bloodstream at high levels.

devlian [24]

Answer:

need for larger emergency funds

Explanation:

The burden of having the knowledge that enough money is required to take of your children's health is simply the need for larger emergency funds. When you begin to set aside money that will be used in the future or you are saving for potential loss in the future, then it is simply an emergency fund. You are not saving out of fear and worry, nor are you spending to save on something you desire. No one likes to spend money on health related issues and no one knows when he or she would get ill, thus "need for larger emergency funds" is the correct option.
