Leptin (ng/dL)	7.70±0.94^a,b; 𝑛=9	5.15±0.44^a; 𝑛=9	9.86±1.11^b; 𝑛=9	8.43±1.19^a,b; 𝑛=9	<0.007

a,bValues (average ± S.E.) followed by different letters in superscript present significant differences for 𝑃<0.05. Note: SCG: sedentary control group; ECG: exercise control group; STG: sedentary tucumã group; ETG: exercise tucumã group; S.E.: standard error; 𝑛: number of animals evaluated per group.
