Effects of dexamethasone and/or food on serum leptin (A), insulin (B), and glucose (C). Subjects (n=4) were studied under 4 conditions: 1) dexamethasone (4mg) administered I.V. over one minute with fast, 2) dexamethasone with food (2000 kcal given at 3 meals), 3) saline with fast and 4) saline with food. SEM are not shown for clarity. In the food condition, breakfast (700 kcal), lunch (960 kcal) and snack (340 kcal) were given 15 min., 4 h and 6 h, respectively, after dexamethasone or saline administration.
