Fig. 5From: Long-term fructose feeding changes the expression of leptin receptors and autophagy genes in the adipose tissue and liver of male rats: a possible link to elevated triglyceridesThe plasma leptin level and leptin mRNA expression in WAT. The whiskers indicate the range from minimum to maximum values. Both the plasma level (p = 0.005) and mRNA expression (p = 0.020) of leptin were decreased by IUGR. The leptin mRNA level was decreased by fructose consumption (p < 0.001). The abbreviations are explained in Fig. 1, n = 12–14/groupBack to article page
