FIGURE 5.

Effect of dietary ABA on splenic gene expression following an intraperitoneal LPS challenge of PPAR γ-expressing (flfl-Cre⁻) and conditional PPAR γ null (flfl-Cre⁺) mice. Quantification of mRNA expression of TNF-α (A), nuclear receptor co-activator 6 (NCOA6) (B), PPAR γ (C), and Glut4 (D) in spleens of mice administered control or ABA-supplemented (100 mg/kg). Splenic samples were collected 6 h following an in vivo (intraperitoneal) challenge with LPS at 375 μg/kg in 0.1 ml of saline (* versus **, p < 0.05). Results are presented as means ± S.E. of groups of 10 mice.
