Plasma leptin levels were determined in 8 lactating female and 20 pup Antarctic fur seals ( Arctocephalus gazella ) during fasting periods of normal duration. Plasma leptin levels ranged from 1.35-3.19 ng·ml -1 in lactating females and 1.79-4.80 ng·ml -1 in pups and were not positively correlated wi...
