Effects of r-metHuLeptin therapy on energy intake. (a) Energy intake at an ad libitum test meal before (black bars) and 2 months after (white bars) r-metHuLeptin therapy in child A, B, and C. Energy intake (KJ) expressed per kilogram lean body mass to compare intake of subjects of different age and body size. (b) Changes in body mass index SDS (BMI SDS) (filled symbols) and energy intake at an 18-MJ ad libitum test meal (gray bars) during 36 months of treatment in child B. Panels indicate duration of r-metHuLeptin dose expressed as a percentage of predicted serum leptin concentration based on age, gender, and body composition.
