Abstract: Overweight and obesity are alterations in the control of energy balance, which is primarily regulated by leptin and neuropeptide Y (NPY). Leptin decreases food intake and increases energy expenditure while NPY stimulates food intake. Due to the important role of leptin and NPY, serum concentrations of leptin and NPY in 11 volunteer women with excess weight subjected to a hypo-caloric diet were studied for 6 months. \nResults: during the first 3 months of treatment, there was a decrease in the mean of body mass index (BMI), fat mass (FM), lean mass (LM), and leptin while there was an increase in NPY. However, during the second 3 months of the study, BMI and FM continued decreasing, while leptin and LM increased.
