WT: wild type (homozygous wild type in Lepr gene); db/db: leptin receptor deficiency (homozygous mutants in Lepr gene). Values are the mean ± SE. Values were analyzed by two-way ANOVA (interaction, age, and genotype). Values of the respective genotype male or female mice at the same age were analyzed by paired Student’s t-test. NS: not significant; , vs. male or female mice of the respective genotype at the same age at 8:00 h. |
