Figure 6From: Severe burn and disuse in the rat independently adversely impact body composition and adipokinesAssociation 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).
