Baseline and day 15 BMI and serum levels of adipokines and β-hydroxybutyrate in the human IF study.
| Ad libitum | IF | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N | Baseline | Day 15 | N | Baseline | Day 15 | P value * | |
| BMI (Kg/m2), mean ± SD | 8 | 31.2 ± 6.4 | 31.1 ± 6.5 | 8 | 30.2 ± 5.8 | 29.1 ± 5.3 | 0.03 |
| Serum analyte, mean ± SD | |||||||
| Leptin (ng/ml) | 8 | 11.3 ± 7.7 | 8.9 ± 4.4 | 8 | 13.6 ± 12.9 | 7.5 ± 7 | 0.006 |
| Adiponectin (mg/ml) mean ± SD | 8 | 11.9 ± 6.1 | 15.9 ± 7.5 | 8 | 8.9 ± 2.9 | 10.5 ± 3 | 0.45 |
| β-hydroxybutyrate mM | 8 | 0.27 ± 0.1 | 0.22 ± 0.04 | 8 | 0.21 ± 0.05 | 0.24 ± 0.04 | 0.94 |
Values are means ± SD;
Comparisons on day 15 were conducted using an analysis of covariance: (i) for BMI after controlling for baseline BMI values; (ii) for serum analytes after controlling for baseline serum levels and change in BMI.
