Experimental study design. LepRb-deficient db/db mice were randomly transfected with Ad-LepRb or Ad-mCherry in the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH). Mice received intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusions of either PBS or leptin in a cross-over design and underwent polysomnography at days 9 and 13 after injection. LepRb: long isoform of leptin receptor.
