From: Alterations of leptin in the course of inflammation and severe sepsis
Treating patients with DAA resulted in an increase in leptin levels after 96 hours of DAA infusion compared to patients without treatment of DAA from day 1 to day 3 and 5 (p < 0.05) (leptin concentrations, Day 1: DAA+, mean = 18991 pg/ml, ±SEM = 6009 pg/ml. Day 3: DAA+, mean = 57315 pg/ml, ± SEM = 17075 pg/ml. Day 5: DAA+, mean = 54980 pg/ml, ±SEM = 17660 pg/ml). Significances of t-tests with Holm-Bonferroni adjustments for multiple comparisons are indicated, otherwise no significance could be reached. Data are presented as mean with standard error of mean (SEM). * p < 0.10, ** p < 0.05.
