Substitution of Soy Protein for Casein Prevents Oxidative Modification and Inflammatory Response Induced in Rats Fed High Fructose Diet
Figure 3
mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines. Significant elevations of TNF-α, IL-6, and PAI-1 gene expression were observed in F + CA group, compared to F + SP and S + CA groups. Soy protein substitution for casein significantly reduced TNF-α, IL-6, and PAI-1 expression in fructose-fed rats. S + SP and S + CA groups show no apparent differences in the mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokines. Values are means ± SD (). Bars with different symbols denote significance () with respect to the starch fed counterparts.
