A pharmaceutical company went bankrupt after investing in what they thought was a highly promising leptin-like drug for obesity. Their fatal mistake was not hiring and consulting you during drug development. What could you have told them to avert their demise?

Leptin can't be given as a drug because it's a hormone


Suppression of appetite is not sufficient for reversing obesity


Leptin insensitivity is commonly associated with obesity


Orexin exists to counteract any leptin you introduce
