Illustrations were created with BioRender.com. b Time spent in the compartment with social bedding. c Average time spent in the compartment with social bedding. d Normalized social preference. e Subtracted social preference. Saline treatment, n = 12 male mice; leptin treatment, n = 14 male mice. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 compared with pre-conditioning or saline-treated group; ns, no statistical significance.
