Effect of lemon polyphenol supplementation on leptin and adiponectin
Diet group | LF | HF | LP |
---|---|---|---|
Leptin (ng/ml) | 2.6 ± 1.3a | 52.8 ± 14.8b | 30.0 ± 13.4c |
Leptin mRNA level | 0.19 ± 0.09a | 0.89 ± 0.21b | 0.66 ± 0.28b |
Adiponectin (µg/ml) | 113.6 ± 46.5 | 87.1 ± 29.9 | 75.0 ± 22.1 |
The mRNA level of adipose leptin were normalized to GAPDH. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. n = 5–6 in each group. Values with different superscripts are significantly different, p<0.05.
