Table I. Baseline Characteristics vs. Day 4 of Energy Deprivation.

Characteristics and chemerin levels at 8 AM on Day 1 and Day 4 of fed state, 72-hour fasting with placebo administration, and 72-hour fasting with metreleptin administration. Data were analyzed by ANOVA for repeated variables.

Values are means +/− SD. Means with * indicate significant difference between day 1 and day 4 within a state. P trt demonstrates significance of intervention (fed, fasting, leptin); p time demonstrates significance of time between days; p trt*time demonstrates significance of intervention and time interaction.
