DZA promotes the release of inflammatory cytokines from 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Quantification of proinflammatory cytokines (A) IL-6, (B) TNF and (C) MCP-1 in the spent medium of control and DZA-treated 3T3-L1 adipocytes normalized to cellular DNA and expressed as µg/µg DNA (n = 5). Relative mRNA expression levels of (D) IL-6, (E) TNF and (F) MCP-1 in control and DZA-treated 3T3-L1 adipocytes (n = 5). Data are presented as the mean ± SEM; values not sharing a common letter significantly differ from each other at p ≤ 0.05.
