The aim of the present work was to assess the effect of leptin replacement on adiponectin levels and expression as well as on markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in leptin-deficient ob/ob mice. Twelve-week-old male mice (n = 7-10 per group) were treated with either saline (wild type and ob/ob mice) or leptin (ob/ob mice) for 18 d ...[more]
