Physiological functions of LepA in Nile tilapia. (A) Accumulated food intake rate, (n = 3, 5 fish each parallel). (B) Plasma TG (n = 6), NEFA (n = 6), glucose (n = 7), glucagon and insulin (INS) levels (n = 5). (C) Liver TG content (n = 6). (D) Total β-oxidation of [1-14C] palmitate in the liver homogenates (n = 6). (E) Liver glycogen content (n = 6). (F) Reservation of [1-14C] D-glucose in body (n = 6). (G) LepR, SOCS3 and NPY mRNA in hypothalamus (n = 6). (H) ATGL and apoE mRNA in liver (n = 6). (I) Glut2 mRNA in liver (n = 6). *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01. Data shown as means ± SEM.
