Results of the ELISA for adipocytokines among the different treatment groups. (A) Plasma resistin, (B) plasma adiponectin, and (C) plasma leptin. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation, n = 4–7/group; **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05 based on a Welch analysis of variance with a post-hoc Games-Howell test for multiple comparisons. (C) C + H control + high-fat diet, HFD high-fat diet, L + H L-NG-nitroarginine methyl ester + high-fat diet, L-NAME L-NG-nitroarginine methyl ester, TL + H L-NG-nitroarginine methyl ester + tadalafil + high-fat diet, ELISA enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
