In Vitro	LEP-(116-130) (300 µM) is unable to inhibit AP-OB binding[1].
In Vivo	LEP-(116-130) (1 mg, i.p.) results in a reduced rate of body weight gain in the presence of increased food intake compared with vehicle-injcted control mice. LEP-(116-130) significantly reduces blood glucose levels by appr 100 mg/dL. Administration of LEP-(116-130) to wild-type (+/+) C57BLKS/J-m mice for 4 or 7 days has no effect on their ability to thermoregulate[1].
Animal Admin	Blood is drawn from the tail vein of each mouse 2 h before the onset of the dark period at the beginning of the study (day 0) and after 2, 4, and 6 days of treatment with 1 mg/day i.p. LEP-(116-130). Blood glucose levels are determined with a Glucometer Elite blood glucose monitor. After 4 and 7 days of treatment with 1 mg/day i.p. LEP-(116-130), sensitivity to cold is examined by placing the mice without food or water in a cold room with an ambient temperature of 4°C. Body temperature is measured with a rectal probe every hour for 4 h.
