Values are mean ± S.E; n=8. a, b indicate changes in the body weight before and
after starvation (by students T-test). Means that do not share common letter is
significantly different at 0.05 level respectively. * indicates comparison between
starved PBS or leptin treated vs. free fed in obese or lean groups. *P=.05 by oneway
