Apocynin Improves Insulin Resistance through Suppressing Inflammation in High-Fat Diet-Induced Obese Mice
Figure 5
Effects of apocynin on inflammation-related genes expression and the activity of NF-κB in the liver. Apocynin treatment decreased the gene expression of (a) TNF-α, (b) IL-6, (c) MCP-1 in HFD-Apo group compared to HFD-Con group. (d) Hepatic NF-κB activity was tested by the special kit (Trans-AM NF-κB kit). The hepatic NF-κB activity is lower in the HFD-Apo group than that in the HFD-Con group.
