Yes, but only if at least 65% or higher is damaged or removed wiithout replacement.

Leptin, a hormone produced by fat cells, communicates with the hypothalamus in the brain to regulate energy balance and appetite. Leptin binds to receptors in the hypothalamus, signaling whether the body has enough energy stored as fat. This helps to regulate food intake and energy expenditure to maintain a stable body weight.
A quantitative variable where there is a continuous (no infinite number) of attributes. For example length/height/weight can be measure as continuous as it has not set number
Height, weight, wavelength of light.
