Effects of Anthocyanin and Flavanol Compounds on Lipid Metabolism and Adipose Tissue Associated Systemic Inflammation in Diet-Induced Obesity

Figure 4

Systemic proinflammatory mediators. (a) Polyphenols do not prevent the HFD-induced increase in levels of TNF-α as measured in serial plasma samples ( at baseline). (b) Plasma levels of the neutrophil chemoattractant mKC are suppressed in the HFD+B group until 4 w but increase thereafter ( at baseline). Dotted lines depict baseline values. Significant from HFD ().
