aMeasured once daily only.
bInstructions were adapted to shortened observation time.
cLeptin assays for determination of total leptin serum concentrations: Leptin ELISA assay E07 (Mediagnost GmbH, Reutlingen, Germany; for patients A and B) and Leptin ELISA assay MD53001 (IBL International GmbH, Hamburg, Germany; patient C).
dFor metreleptin a half-life of 3.8–4.7 h and a median tmax of 4 h (range 2–6 h) following s.c. administration was reported in patients with lipodystrophy32.
