SELENOM^−/− increases HFD-mediated inflammation response in liver tissues. A The contents of cytokines (Tnfa, Il6 and Il1b) in blood serum (n = 6; *P < 0.05). B, C The mRNA and protein levels of inflammation response-related genes such as Il6, Il10, Nos2 and Tnfa were determined by qRT-PCR (B) and WB (C) in HFD-treated livers with SELENOM^−/− (n = 6; *P < 0.05). D, E The mRNA and protein levels of inflammation response-related genes such as Il6, Il10, Nos2 and Tnfa were detected in Veh, SELENOM, PA and SELENOM + PA (n = 3; *P < 0.05).
