Figure Lengend Snippet: Fasting blood glucose (A), cholesterol (B), triglyceride (C), insulin (D), and leptin (E) levels in lean (green), obese (pink), and obese treated (yellow) animals. Glucose levels were identical for the 3 groups throughout the study. Cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations were lower in lean rats compared with the obese animals and were not significantly affected by benfluorex treatment. Insulin and leptin were markedly higher in the obese than in lean animals. Benfluorex lowered insulin and leptin levels in the obese treated rats, but not to the level in lean animals. Groups with different superscripts (*, †, ‡) within a time point are different (p < 0.05).
