Figure 5

Testicular tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) α, interleukin- (IL-) 1β, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (Nos2) following green coffee water extract (50 and 100 mg kg-1) or metformin (200 mg kg-1) in high-fat diet/streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rats. ELISA data are expressed as (). mRNA expression results are recorded as of three assays in duplicate referenced to Actb and represented as fold changes (log2 scale) as compared with the mRNA levels of the control group. A. The statistical significance relative to that of the control group (CNTR) at . B. The statistical significance relative to that of the diabetic group (HDF/STZ) at . C. The statistical significance relative to that of the diabetes-metformin-treated (HDF/STZ-Met) group at .
