Kruskal-Wallis test was used. Values are given as median (min-max).
a
p< 0.01; between control and penicillin groups;
b
p< 0.01; between penicillin and leptin groups;
c
p< 0.05; between penicillin and penicillin+leptin groups;
d
p< 0.05; between penicillin and penicillin+ACEA groups;
e
p< 0.01; between penicillin+ACEA and penicillin+ACEA+leptin groups.
