| Biochemical Interest | Believed Mechanism | Potential Drug |
|---|---|---|
| Leptin receptor | When mutated, resists leptin binding | Repairs receptor; creates tailored leptin-like molecule |
| Neuropeptide Y | Stimulates carbohydrate craving | NPY antagonist |
| Galanin | Stimulates fat intake and lowers insulin level | Galanin antagonist |
| Cholecystokinin | Signals brain to stop eating | CCK agonist |
| Dopamine | Signals brain to stop eating | Dopamine/fatty acid combination drug |
