Measure
Iso Fed, Then Fasting w/ Metreleptin, Then Fasting w/ Placebo
Six young, healthy, and lean women (age, 22.8,; BMI,21.7kg/m2) who were eumenor- rheic were enrolled in a clinical researchcenter- based, randomized, cross-over interventional study involving three separate 5-day-long inpatient admissions (22). Six subjects with a cross-over design, enabling paired comparisons, would provide 80% power to detect a difference of 1.4 SD between different conditionsat the conventional a=0.05 level. In thefirst admission, the subjects were studied in the isocaloric fed state, whereas in the following two admissions the subjects were studied in the prolonged fasting state for 72 h and were randomized to receive either placebo or metreleptin at replacement doses. A cross-over to the opposite arm took place in the later admission so that all six subjects received both placebo and metreleptin. r-metHuLeptin self-administered subcutaneously r-metHuLeptin: recombinant human leptin
