High, because they're fat. Leptin levels in obese people are like insulin levels in a type 2 diabetic... there's intolerance/resistance at play.

Leptin is made by adipose cells. So it makes sense that it's levels will be increased in obese.

Variable if you consider the strictly BMI definition of obese (i.e. some bodybuilders are "obese").

Answer is Variable, as Seminoma stated, unless the question is strictly going by the definition of Obesity and not via BMI. Since they are comparing obese to a "normal BMI" I would say they are most likely talking in terms of BMI. A great way they could test you on this is using WTH ratio. WHO states that it is a measurement of obesity which is an efficient predictor of mortality. They can say something along the lines of "a patient has a high Waist-to-Hip Ratio" and then throw a Leptin question in the middle after which the answer would be: high leptin levels with a decreased appetite.

Leptin and BMI are directly proportional on a graph (unless they mention the patient is an avid bodybuilder).

Leptin acts on the Arcuate Nucleus of the Hypothalamus to decrease the production of Neuropeptide Y (a potent stimulator of appetite). It also stimulates the production of POMC. Alpha-MSH(increases satiety) is produced by cleavage of POMC, inhibiting food intake.

Thus a mutation in the Leptin gene or receptor will lead to Hyperphagia and profound Obestiy.
