Effect of leptin infusion on hepatic triglyceride levels and serum alanine aminotransferase activities in diet-induced lipodystrophy model mice. Mice were fed normal or lipodystrophy model diets for 4 weeks and were infused intrapeneally 0 or 5 μ g of leptin per day f for the final week of the 4-week feeding period. Values are expressed as mean ± SE. ^{a, b}Different letters show significant differences at P < 0.05. AST, alanine aminotransferase.
