Levels of various plasma cytokines measured at week 17 at termination of the study (mean and SEM). IL-6 was statistically significantly higher in the low-fat fed group 3 (Ampicillin 5w− 16w−/DIO−) compared to the nontreated high-fat fed group 2B (Ampicillin 5w− 16w−/DIO+) ( ). TNFα levels (not shown) were also measured, but all measurements were under detection sensitivity.
