Antioxidant Activity of Sprouts Extracts Is Correlated with Their Anti-Obesity and Anti-Inflammatory Effects in High-Fat Diet-Fed Mice

Figure 5

Effects of the CS and OB extracts on the levels of leptin, lipids, and oxidative stress markers in the plasma. Concentration of triglyceride, total cholesterol, and activity of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in plasma were determined using commercial kits. Malondialdehyde (MDA), 8-epi-prostaglandin (PG) F2α, and leptin levels were determined by ELISA kits according to the manufacturer’s instruction. Means sharing the same alphabet in superscripts on the bars are not significantly different at as determined by ANOVA and Duncan’s multiple range test.
