Apocynin Improves Insulin Resistance through Suppressing Inflammation in High-Fat Diet-Induced Obese Mice
Figure 4
Effects of apocynin on inflammation-related genes expression in adipose tissue. The levels of mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-6, MCP-1, leptin, and adiponectin in the epididymal adipose tissue were determined by quantitative PCR. (a) TNF-α, (b) IL-6, (c) MCP-1, (d) Leptin, and (e) Adiponectin. Apocynin decreased the gene expression of TNF-α, IL-6, MCP-1, and leptin in HFD-Apo compared to the HFD-Con group. The gene expression of adiponectin did not change among three groups. # versus ND-Con group, * versus HFD-Con group.
