Cytokines and chemokine levels in kidney extracts. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. Data obtained from each group were compared using the Kruskal–Wallis test (†P < 0.05), followed by the Mann–Whitney U test (*). *Significant (P < 0.05) differences between the CN and CP groups or between the HN and HP groups are marked by an asterisk. CN chow diet and non-treatment control (saline, 200 μl/day, n = 13), CP chow diet and methylprednisolone treatment (5 mg/kg/day, n = 21), HN high fat-diet and non-treatment control (saline, 200 μl/day, n = 18), HP high fat-diet and methylprednisolone treatment (5 mg/kg/day, n = 18).
