Apocynin Improves Insulin Resistance through Suppressing Inflammation in High-Fat Diet-Induced Obese Mice

Figure 3

Effects of apocynin on the plasma inflammatory markers. (a) Plasma TNF-α levels. It was shown that apocynin decreased the level of plasma TNF-α in HFD-Apo group compared to the HFD-Con group. (b) Plasma IL-6 levels. The plasma IL-6 level in HFD-Apo group is lower than that in HFD-Con group. (c) Plasma leptin levels. Apocynin decreased the level of plasma leptin in HFD-Apo compared with the HFD-Con group. ^#𝑃<.05 versus ND-Con group, ^##𝑃<.01 versus ND-Con group, *𝑃<.05 versus HFD-Con group.
