Leptin induces pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tnf-alpha and il-6, reduce il-10, and is linked to various cancers. It apparently has some neuro-protective effects (explaining the obese paradox), but from what I found the same benefits can be achieved without leptin (taurine, coffee for instance).
Well this really makes sense on a evolutionary aspect, despite what Ray said about butter and coconut oil potentially promoting butyrate, they aren't even 1% as effective as ingesting resistant starch or dietary fiber. What this mean is that we probably aren't meant to eat starch.
