Association of plasma leptin (a), adiponectin (b) and ghrelin (c) concentrations with body fat mass on Day 14. (a) A positive correlation was observed between plasma leptin and total fat mass (r = 0.74; P <0.00001; n = 35). (b) A positive correlation was observed between plasma adiponectin and total fat mass (r = 0.61; P <0.0002; n = 36), (c) A negative correlation was observed between plasma ghrelin and total fat mass (r = -0.57; P <0.0002; n = 37). Sham-ambulatory (SA; closed triangles); Burn-ambulatory (BA; closed circles); Sham-hindlimb (SH; open triangles); Burn-hindlimb (BH; open circles).
