Abstract
After 6 hours, leptin levels steadily decline during prolonged fasting in lean children. The decline probably is related to the suppression of insulin secretion. Although baseline leptin levels were related to BMI and age, in the final fasting sample, leptin levels showed minimal variation in this pediatric cohort encompassing a wide age range.
