Table 2

Effects of BC on CRP, T-Bil, leptin, and insulin.

	Cont.	HF	BC1	BC2
CRP (ng/mL)	195.62 ± 1.32	208.82 ± 5.6	194.1 ± 2.52	193.67 ± 2.39^#
T-Bil (mg/dL)	0.6 ± 0.03	0.72 ± 0.05	0.63 ± 0.04	0.57 ± 0.02^#
Leptin (pg/dL)	0.62 ± 0.03	0.45 ± 0.03	0.53 ± 0.01	0.83 ± 0.1^##
Insulin (mg/dL)	0.64 ± 0.03	1.15 ± 0.19	0.64 ± 0.06^#	0.62 ± 0.05^#

Values were expressed as mean ± S.E. (). versus Cont; and versus HF. CRP: C-reactive protein; T-Bil: total bilirubin; Cont.: control; HF: high fructose; BC1: blackcurrant 100 mg/kg/day; BC2: blackcurrant 300 mg/kg/day.
