Hepatic IL-1β gene expression and levels. A: IL-1β gene expression increased within each group over time. At 4 wk and 8 wk, IL-1β expression was significantly higher in the trans fat group (**P < 0.05 vs. standard high-fat diet and control diet). There was no significant difference between the high-fat and control diet groups at any time point. B: IL-1β levels were determined and found to be significantly higher in the trans fat group compared with the high-fat group at 8 wk (**P < 0.05 vs. standard high-fat diet and control diet).
