Serum insulin and leptin. (a) Insulin and (b) leptin. All mice consuming HFD exhibited increased insulin and leptin compared to mice consuming TEN and RC. Female mice overall had lower levels of insulin and leptin compared to males. Lastly, male mice consuming TEN had elevated levels of leptin compared to female TEN mice. Black bars indicate males, and gray bars indicate females. † significant diet difference, ‡ significant sex difference, and different letters indicate significantly different at p < .05
