a

P values are based on a test that assesses if mean change from baseline is significantly different from zero.

b

CGI-I responders: CGI-I score ≤ 2 (much/very much improved).

c

Mean (SD) baseline leptin levels: 64.6 (21.1) ng/mL.

d

Mean (SD) baseline ghrelin levels: 1073.2 (459.9) pg/mL.

e

Mean (SD) salivary baseline cortisol levels: 17.3 (14.6) nmol/L.
