Serum levels of insulin, leptin and adiponectin. A: Daily pattern of insulin level. B: Daily pattern of leptin level. C: Daily pattern of adiponectin level. Horizontal open and closed bars indicate light and dark periods, respectively. The number of mice at each time point was 4–6 for each group. Columns in the right panels show the average level throughout the day. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (FF, n = 16; one meal, n = 20; two meals, n = 19). Gray circle and column: FF; white circle and column: one meal; black circle and column: two meals. ## p < 0.01 vs. FF, ** p < 0.01 vs. one meal (Tukey-Kramer test).
