3 Fig 2 Relationship between serum leptin and total IgE concentrations (log scale). Leptin levels were significantly (r=0.319; P=.010) related to total IgE in boys (A) but not in girls (B). Serum leptin and total IgE levels are determined as described in the Methods section. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology  , DOI: ( /j.jaci )
