Figure 3. Measurements of cytokines, adipokines, and LPS.

Serum concentration of IL-6 (A), TNF-α (B), adiponectin (C), leptin (D), and LPS (E). Proportion of Bifidobacterium was obtained by 16S rRNA analysis of stools (F). Data are presented as means ± S.E.M from six to eight mice per group from experiments that were repeated at least three times. * p<0.05 between TLR2 KO mice and their controls; all evaluations were made with mice on standard chow.
