Abstract:
The present study aimed at evaluating the effect of appetizer administration on plasma leptin levels of human volunteers. The ginger-based appetizers, namely ginger munch, fruit munch, jeera munch and appetizer drink, developed in the Defence Food Research Laboratory were used for 45 volunteers. Leptin was analyzed using the BioSource enzyme-amplified sensitivity immunoassay kit. The fasting plasma leptin level for men and women ranged between 0.5 and 19.5 ng/ml and between 2 and 36 ng/ml, respectively. The decreased (6-16%) plasma leptin levels after consumption of appetizers indicated their appetizing effect.
