The right answer is: Leptin .

Leptin is a hormone closely linked to the regulation of energy consumption and expenditure: appetite, metabolism, and hunger.

A hormone is a protein with a messenger function. This means that once released into the bloodstream, she goes to another part of the body to transmit a message to specific receptors.

Leptin is manufactured in white adipocytes (adipose tissue) where triglycerides (fats) are stored and acts on the hypothalamus.

Answer:

Leptin

Explanation:

Leptin is the satiety hormone. It is through him that we realize that our stomach is full and we do not feel like eating more food. Leptin is produced by adipose tissue, the higher the body fat, the greater the amount of leptin. Finally, when their levels are high, food intake decreases and when their levels are low, they induce excess food consumption.

Jeorge did not want to eat the piece of pizza that was offered to him because he had already been fed. His stomach was full and leptin indicated he was satiated and didn't need to eat that pizza.

Explanation:

To clarify what I said here are some questions to help!

How did oxygen first appear?

Whiffs in the air is how oxygen first appeared billions of years ago.

For the most part, scientists agree that oxygen, though lacking in the atmosphere, was likely brewing in the oceans as a byproduct of cyanobacterial photosynthesis as early as 3 billion years ago

When was oxygen found?

2.33 billion years ago

Since its first appearance 2.33 billion years ago, oxygen accumulated in high enough concentrations to have a weathering effect on rocks just 10 million years later.

I don't know if this helped you but if it does, please let me know!
