Effect of KBH-1 on the leptin resistance of the hypothalamus. (a) Hypothalamus tissue was homogenized and (A) serum leptin was measured with an ELISA kit. The feed efficiency ratio (%) was calculated as weight gain/food intake × 100. (b) The phosphorylation of ERK, AKT and AMPK was measured using western blotting. The data are expressed as the mean ± SEM. Significant differences from the HFD group are indicated by *p < 0.05 or **p < 0.001
