It is insulin. Leptin does help regulate body weight and how insulin is used. But insulin is what gets more blood and amino acids(from protein) to your muscles which is what causes them to grow. If your goal is muscle growth, increasing insulin by eating carbs before and after workouts gets you there faster.
No. It doesn’t. This is broscience. Leptin does not regulate insulin first of all lol. Leptin and insulin often have an inverse relationship in maintaining homeostasis. It is the actual uptick in leptin from the downswing in insulin that does this. And the uptick in insulin is NOT necessary to achieve it. Being a system seeking equilibrium, you can uptick your leptin to downswing your insulin, which is what fat adaptation does lol.
Muscle growth is driven by metabolism. Low metabolism will slow muscle growth regardless of your macros. This is why cortisol from lack of sleep fucks you even if you do everything else correct in comparison to a control. Decreasing metabolism for fat storage does not increase muscle growth. Increasing metabolism with abundant energy does this, which is when you have high leptin.
In fact high metabolism and annabolism are not linked. If your leptin is high without proteins, you will just burn muscle faster instead of grow it. It is literally high leptin plus high proteins that build muscles. Insulin builds fat bruh.
No. I really am not. You just cannot connect the dots beyond your superficial misunderstanding when confronted with broad relationships exemplified across the board. I know how the endocrine system works better than anyone on this stupid board right now. It’s just that you people are incapable of understanding what I am saying or why I said it like that. Because you don’t actually have a systematic understanding, and are working with pieces of incomplete understanding you picked up from half-true broscience.
You morons literally do not know your basic physiology.

Dude you are all over the place. And wrong on a lot of shit. There’s plenty of information on this topic online hopefully people just look it up.
