Energy homeostasis-related parameters following SLR central infusion

	Experiment 2: Low dose SLR infusion (4.3 µg·day−1)
	Control	Leptin	Leptin + SLR
Change in whole body fat mass (g)	2.8 ± 1.3	−9.4 ± 0.7**	−5.1 ± 1.6**†
Serum leptin, day 7 (ng·mL−1)	3.73 ± 0.23	13.49 ± 0.90**	11.84 ± 1.42**
	Experiment 3: Higher dose SLR infusion (5.5 µg·day−1)
	Control	SLR	Leptin	Leptin + SLR
Change in whole body fat mass (g)	3.4 ± 2.0	7.0 ± 1.6	−2.6 ± 1.0*	2.7 ± 1.7†
Serum leptin, day 7 (ng·mL−1)	2.53 ± 0.32	2.66 ± 0.31	4.89 ± 0.44**	6.81 ± 0.73**†

Values are means ± SE of 6–7 animals in each group.

^*P < 0.05

^**P < 0.01 versus control,

^†P < 0.05 versus leptin alone.
