Food intake during dark and light phases with constant versus pulsed leptin infusion.
| Control | Constant Leptin (3ug/day) | Pulsed Leptin (3ug/4h) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Phase (g) | 18.85 ± 1.14 | 7.67 ± 0.81a | 7.50 ± 0.61a |
| Light Phase (g) | 4.59 ± 0.68 | 2.23 ± 0.247 | 3.53 ± 0.68 |
| Total (g) | 21.44 ± 0.89 | 9.90 ± 0.89a | 11.0 ± 1.05a |
Food consumption was measured during days 7-8 of treatment. Dark phase is from 7 pm to 7 am. P<0.0001 for treatment by one-way ANOVA.
