Effect of chronic leptin treatment on thymopoiesis. C57BL/6 and ob/ob (C57BL/6 background) mice were given i.p. injections of leptin (1 μg/g body weight) or saline twice daily for 10 days. Thymus tissues was dissected from euthanized animals on day 11. Mean thymus weight (A) and absolute number of thymocytes (B) ± SEM are shown for both mouse strains treated with either saline or leptin. ob/ob saline, n = 3; ob/ob leptin, n = 4; C57BL/6 saline, n = 7; C57BL/6 leptin, n = 9. *, p ≤ 0.05 compared with saline-treated animals.
