Figure 1

Effects of fasting on blood hormones in intact and adrenalectomized mice. (A) Fasting induces serum corticosterone in intact mice but not in adrenalectomized mice. Fasting decreases both serum insulin (B), and serum leptin (C) to the same levels in intact and adrenalectomized mice. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. Groups with different letters are statistically different (p < 0.05), reflecting ANOVA followed by Tukey-Kramer post hoc tests comparing every group to every other group. Thus groups with the same letter do not differ from each other at a p < 0.05 level.
