Effect of systemic metformin on adipokine levels

Treatment group Leptin (pg/ml) Resistin (pg/ml)
Control 405.6 ± 87.74     1166 ± 84.89    
Control + Met 382.0 ± 67.81     832.8 ± 65.34**

HED + Met 1243 ± 187.5     4462 ± 621.1    

Blood samples from each animal were evaluated for adipokine levels Leptin—Control versus HED; **P = 0.0061

Resistin—Control versus Control + Met, **P = 0.0095; Control versus HED; **P = 0.0014
