Figure 5

Soy-tomato diet reduces inflammatory gene expression in pancreatic tissue of mice with CP. At study endpoint, mice pancreata were harvested and placed in RNALater. Tissue samples were used to extract RNA and synthesize cDNA for RT-qPCR analysis of genes of interest. Gene expression was quantified and normalized to the 18S housekeeping gene and then normalized to healthy mice without CP. Expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (A) IL-6, (B) IL-1beta, (C) TGF-alpha, (D) TNF-beta, and inflammatory cells such as (E) Ly6G and (F) CD68 were analyzed by RT-qPCR. N = 5 mice/group.
