Variation in plasma leptin levels in response to fasting in Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella)
Plasma leptin levels were determined in 8 lactating female and 20 pup Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus ga:ella) 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...
