Figure 5. Leptin and adiponectin.
A: Plasma concentrations of leptin and adiponectin of mice in standard conditions, CT(□), or separated and submitted to food access restriction, SBA(▪) after 2 and 10 weeks of protocol, followed by 2 and 10 weeks of standard housing conditions. B: Relative leptin and adiponectin mRNA levels in SCAT and VAT vs HPRT and PPIA housekeeping genes. Data represent mean ± SEM; n = 6–10/group. *p<0.05 and **p<0.005 when compared to CT group at the same duration; ‡ p<0.05 and ‡‡ p<0.05 when compared to the previous value of the same group.
