Animals were treated as in Fig. 1. Relative expression of TNF-α (a), IL-1β (b), IL-6 (c), IL-10 (d) and PAI-1 (e) in hepatic and adipose tissues was assessed using qRT–PCR and in comparison with the Chow group. Data are shown as mean±s.e.m. Graph bars with different letters on top represent statistically significant results (P<0.05) based on Newman–Keuls post hoc one-way ANOVA analysis, whereas bars with the same letter correspond to results that show no statistically significant differences. In the case where two letters are present on top of the bars in d,e, each letter should be compared separately with the letters of other bars to determine whether the results show statistically significant differences.
