The patients also demonstrated significant differences in total IgE levels as compared to the controls (Table 1 ). Serum leptin and leptin receptor levels in atopic asthma We observed that serum leptin level was higher in asthmatic patients during exacerbation (13.81 ± 10.56 ng/mL) than in the control subjects (6.32 ± 5.20 ng/mL), but this difference showed marginal significance ( P = 0.078) (Fig. 1 a).
