In lactating goats, leptin application led to higher glucose turnover-rates than in pregnant animals. Our results indicate that the effectiveness of exogenous leptin to alter glucose metabolism is dependent of the physiological state of the animal, i.e. that pregnant and lactating dams respond divergently.  aGoats1 aHENNIES, M.1 aGERTLER, A.1 aSAUERWEIN, H.  tIn: ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BRITISH SOCIETY OF ANIMAL SCIENCE, 2002, York.
