Effects of adrenalectomy, streptozotocin injection and fasting on levels of blood hormones. (A) Streptozotocin injection elevates levels of serum corticosterone however adrenalectomy prevents the induction associated with streptozotocin. Both serum insulin (B), and serum leptin (C) are reduced to the same extent in all experimental conditions. 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.
