Leptin is a recently discovered peptide hormone secreted primarily from adipocytes in humans and other mammals; it is a reflection of fat stores, and has been associated with reproductive function. However, few leptin measurements are available from nonindustrialized populations, including contemporary hunter/gatherer communities undergoing the transition to sedentary agriculture. This investigation reports single‐sample serum leptin measurements in healthy Ache Amerindian males (n = 21; average age, 32.8 ± 3.4 SE) and females (n = 12; average age, 31.3 ± 4.3) in eastern Paraguay. Ache leptin concentrations were much lower than in industrialized populations, although significant sexual dimorphism was evident (female 5.64 ng/ml ± 0.91 SE vs. male 1.13 ng/ml ± 0.08; P 2 = 0.72; P 2 = 0.25; P 2 = 0.45; P = 0.02) and BMI (kg/m 2 ) (r 2 = 0.81; P
