Note: The data represent fold differences for quantitative analysis of cytokines determined by ELISA and densitometric calculations from Western blot of cytokine receptors expressed by EEC after incubation for 24 h with leptin (62.5 nM). The Western blot data were normalized to β-actin on a fold difference from control (basal medium; n ≥ 3). (n.s.) no significant difference with respect to control

a

P <0.05 significant difference with respect to control.
